The skateboarder
At the bar
Says he does
Downhill
As the candle wax drips
And smells
Better than the dance floor
I’ve lost count
Of the bars
Doors, hallways
Drinks I’ve had
In this bar
Like an American
Mall
Drink
And dance
Are the only directives
I heed
Drink
Dance
Drink
More
Dance
More
Stumble
Down another hallway
Order a drink
At a different bar
Smile
At the bartender
Make small talk
With a fellow drinker
Anything
In hope
That it won’t end
That I won’t wake up
Hungover
That it can just be this
Forever
And never end
