A Late Night

Rurik Asher Baumrin

The floorboards creak beneath my foot as I sneak
past my own mother’s cold bedroom into my own,
and I wobble and I hop like a bashful drunk.

I nonetheless am a bashful drunk who is home
only for the brief sleep that follows an evening
of pickled debauchery, sour like genitals.

I am polemically challenged in my dreams
and I constantly oppose myself despite all
my goals and resolutions to stay nice and clean

before returning to the dingy, hot apartment
that squeezes my mouth with sticky residual
plastic and churns my stomach sicker.

My paranoia is a paw thud
and my mother will never hear me,
it’s my sister who always catches me.
