bloody knuckles
bloody knuckles
and i am hungover again
sitting here
with my balls hanging out of
ripped boxer shorts
working on a headache
and a burning stomach
bloody knuckles
and i didn’t even get them
from something good
like a bar fight
or a fight with a neighbor over some triviality
got them making the bed
smacking my hand
off the old, weathered box spring
bloody knuckles
and all i can do
is drink wine and vodka on the couch
with band aids on
watch the hours pass
through a broken tv
until i can go to bed
and sleep the wretched restless sleep
of the damned
maybe dream that i’m some
big time prizefighter
instead of just a clumsy drunk
who can’t even properly make
his goddamned bed.
