the first drink
Gregory Ramos 1961 (Azusa)
lucid and melancholy
i feel fine
been rough too
have a drink
it will get you in the mood
or take you down the creek
again tore up from the
floor up
spoken to me
one day at a time
blacked out and fine
where are my shoes
vague flashes
really bad editing
is my life
drowned in regret
