A lesson in insobriety (poem) Drawing

Illustration of my poem “A lesson in insobriety”

I regret all the drugs I’ve never taken
The relationships too complicated
You can only come up if your already down

Shivering intoxication
The great binge of the forgotten nation
Drink was our only holy cow

Straight edge needs replacing
Sober it’s too complicated
A small mind but a big wow

The empty seat needs an occupier
Dead head commuted liar
Heavy is the head that holds the frown

Empty my purse into my hearse
No more drinks to nurse
They are all behind me now
