QUESTIONS 

What am I trying to drown

With all this fucking booze?

What am I trying to bury?

What am I afraid to lose?

Whatever it is keeps surfacing 

Like a fucking whisky whale 

And this goddam Moby Dick

Is making my life hell. 

Whatever it is keeps digging out 

Of the grave I thought I put it in

Like some fucking liquor zombie 

Eager to eat some skin. 

Whatever it is must be precious 

But it’s not The fucking Ring

So why am I so damn afraid 

To give up the drinking?
