Chicken drumsticks, deep fried,
no match for a stressed out stomach.
Missed parties are always better when missed.
Redemption for being excluded,
insistence on endless lights and pavement.
Guinness, gin, and a shot of fireball,
horrid cinnamon with an aftertaste of salt.
Sudden burst, mind blown,
before the night is over.
In one moment anything can change.
A night, a mind, a life.
When everything has changed, it is impossible to deal with the impending sameness that saturates the minutes of a day, each same second, penetrating the differences felt in the soul.
One experience, no trust.
And the silence especially deafening,
the silence rings so loud.
Unspeakable secrets, truth.
