overshadowed by the slap
a feeling of loss like someone stole your kidneys
but hasn't bothered to tell you yet
n you're feeling around your mid-riff
like "something aint right..."
so hungover i almost puked on the roast duck
why did they get the near vegetarian to do the carving?
shivering and clenching
after a tiny portion i nursed a beer for 5 hours
and bitched with our tiny extended family about what was on TV
every time i suck i get the taste of iron filings
leaking something dark and rotten
rich with mould and purple decay
i will never forgive myself for letting my teeth turn
from pebbles of young enamel into jagged chips
so much MXE on NYE i thought i had got to the end of the universe
where life repeats itself in a constant loop of inevitability.
after what seemed like years my mother woke me and i was struck
with an insane belief that i had finally been released from the asylum
but after a while everything went back to normal
carols and sirens merge in wet winds
chapped lips and brittle bones
riding the waves of fever
glad of a central heating system
and glad not to be flooded
