fine moments of clarity
September 23, 2009
slam it down
go
go
go
go
done
your brain is foggy
and you stumble
over a man passed out on the floor
you yell at him to get up
and that there's a time for sleep
and a time to party
you bend down and yell in his ear
no
response
check his pulse
no
beats
from the heart
the heart
the heart
you walk past him and look back
and quickly realize
that you're now on the floor
in a shallow pool
of your own gastric rebellion
call the ambulance
this man has drowned
