Empire
I was touched long before
this thing began, and filled
with trepidation
over random
matters and
improbabilities
(when success was still
assured – in a time before clear
memories)
So pound this
down, for my sake
Forget (with)
all your liquid pleasures
Jager, melon wine, and
beer (all rice and corn and
piss) ‘ritas if ya got ‘em
Who is dying now?
I was the king of party killers when
the lies and booze were smoother
