Wobbly headed, seeing double, slow to react, <br /> <br />Will my head float away if I don’t hold it down? <br /> <br />Speech tripping, tongue thickened, <br /> <br />Can I drink anymore! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Eyelids threaten to close as I walk, <br /> <br />The worlds in slow mo, <br /> <br />Sleep beckons with seductive charms, <br /> <br />Can I drink anymore? <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I thought drinking was a panacea to forgetfulness, <br /> <br />No one told me that I would remember more vividly, <br /> <br />What brought me to this state in the first place! <br /> <br />Can I drink anymore? <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />What joy, what sorrow, what bliss, <br /> <br />Is this it? <br /> <br />Drinking to forget and remembering more, <br /> <br />Can I drink anymore?<br /><br />Anita Atina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-ode-to-being-drunk/
