Beer beer beer acceptable drug,
merriment, tradition,
special occasion drug,
accepted drug, encouraged drug,
masculinity drug, intimacy drug, mating drug
debauchery drug,
silly goofy, child-like joy drug
hangover shame drug,
writhing in bed, rocks in my head
dried vomit sheets drug
peak and trough drug,
courage and confusion,
blissful oblivion, shrinking bubble of perception,
rounding up herd of thoughts,
setting unruly sheep go, letting them roam, eat, ram horns
domesticated barbarian syndrome,
autopilot break,
sleepwalking happily,
taming anxiety bull,
smoothness and suaveness accelerator,
vulnerability enhancer,
sedate, elate,
inflate my ego
repression released,
animal instincts, I missed you
disarm defenses, fortify offense,
go away bank account, go away present moment,
free me from this prison,
give me sex, chips, a thumping baseline
I can’t hear what your saying about marketing, I’m just envisioning you naked,
Let’s say our favorite color instead of what our careers are,
fuck this interview let’s dance
caress me, hold me
keep the levees up and strong,
it’s the last defense against the swift hum of the river of mortality.
