ode to vodka


while talking to a shot of vodka
i suddenly found reality quite unfair
it remains crystal clear
while my mind becomes dull
and i grow more and more opaque

and that girl dancing on a table
just a few tables ahead of mine
letting people put money
where money were never meant to go

maybe she's accused of being a witch
and being burned at the stake
and those are stones they are throwing
see how she waves like a flame?
where is my shining armor when i need it?

or perhaps those are dragons that surround her
licking her with their ugly tongues
see how her body shines wet?
where are my lance and steed when i need them?

but no, reality will not hold my drunken fantasies
Ah... but this clear, colorless liquid will

b. h. bang
(*hic*)
