i drink no dark liquor
anymore. not since
the moment i tried
to jump out a window
i remember the window
i do not remember
the knock, or the call
that led to the knock
or the sex that i had
after the knock. i re
call nothing. and i
was young back then.
and i lived alone. and
he was way too tall -
lanky and drove a red
sloshy camaro which
i never did understand.
no i drink no dark liquor
i barely drink nowadays
it is easier that way not
to jump out a window.
or make unwanted calls
or hear knocks unwanted
or end up not remembering
why i smell of a man i do not love
