Conversational

hate to say it but
I’m really enjoying myself

why aren’t
you?

my stomach
is doing the work
of a gymnast

tumbling

what’d they call
that in elem. school?

tumbling?

tumbling class

well I’ve
got class

I’ve got
the spirit all right
school spirits
drinking spirits
communing with
the spirits

many fake a good smile
mine is real

and when I get in right
with the spirits
I’m only a nicer guy
not throwing up
on your feet
not any of it

some when they
drink it all down
and spin
only try to slay
themselves
hate themselves

“I’m so drunk,
and by the way
I’m a piece of shit…”

now
why would you wanna
say that?

only makes it
that much
harder for
me to talk to you…

and there’s really
so much we have
to talk about

we’re on our
fifth hour of the chat
and just
getting started
