Why write sober when drunk writing will do?A Poem by Thomas Emile Vaughen
I went drunk in my search for words,
because the sober me had seldom little poetry left. Inside my bunker heart. Inside my loaded mind. God, this is going to be f*****g awful. Because of the gin and all that. I've been appreciating the sky recently. And asking questions about Faith and God. And I'm kind of happy with this conclusionless storm I'm riding, on a solitary boat, the waves of my mind. But I'll be damned if I don't concede, that I wish there was another riding with me. That we could enjoy our mutual perplexity(?). Pondering, together. It's only the spelling I'll regret, only the grammar - but never the sentiment, never the feeling and the flow and the beauty. Of it. [I'll try and figure out what all this means tomorrow, or - given my fondness for delay - I might just never will]
