Mark Gaudet
A Quick Fix
2 AM
feel like
a short
feast
2 cans of
mini sized meatballs
with pasta rings
devouring it down
I suddenly realize
the beer is
not fully digested
moments later
vomit
spews from my lips
into the crapper
on my knees
head in the toilet
with the stench of stale beer
and rotten cheese
I start to realize
this is not what
I had in mind
