"Slipping"

by Max Phineas

They're pairing off and my connections are
dwindling. I'm paring my wits, which, with my
senses, have dulled.
I'm twitching like a light switch
stuck between On and Off.
I'm like night and day in a sped-up clock
waiting to be unwound.
Head is messy but my bourbon's neat
I am stone but my mind leaks.

This was a lot of fun to read--it's hard to pick a favorite line here. It definitely leaves me wanting more.
