“And here’s one
I came up with the other night”
He said, and we all listened
Mike is always full of
dumb ideas
so we take them for what they’re worth.

“What if instead of mixing your drinks
with coke and all that other bad shit
that does nothing but dehydrate you
you mix it with V8 and gatorade
so instead of the hangover
you get the cure?”

The idea sounded sickening
and with good reason.
Unless you’re one to drink Red Bull
with Gin
you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Sure all of us that inbibe hate the hangover
but it’s part of the experience
you might feel like shit
but you feel like you’re doing _something_
and that it’s real.

Too much of our lives
we sway into and out of
situations
that never materialize in anything other
than our fantasies.

But here we have the excuse for everything
and you want to make an excuse for that?
it destroys the whole equation that we’ve created
and leaves us out in the cold.
