after a momentary delay


i was sick again

too many evenings of coffee

to get myself up for a workout

then dehydrated i hit the beer

 

last time i drank it was 12 pints

and three shots of whiskey

i was so sick for 3 days

that at one point i shivered so bad

i had to fill the tub with hot water

and get in to stop shaking

 

guess i should stop lifting weights

 

haven’t drank in days

 

tonight i’m at a bar

quiet and sipping

by the second beer i hit a buzz

and whispered,

“i’m back”

 

when i wake tomorrow evening

i’ll lift weights and get back

into my workout routine

yeah, that’s what i’m gonna do

if i feel well enough to do it

 

right now all i can think about

is how much fun i have had

in the various places in l. a.

i have visited

and i want to go back

and have that fun again
