From breaking into the liquor cabinet
to breaking into the houses with better liquor cabinets
from a boarding school chimney by a checkered neck tie
to forty-ounce portioned freedom and swishers almost sweet enough
from burning cows into fornication with celebrities…allegedly
to probably still pouring accelerant on innocent animals…I hope not
but probably
I had to move on from everything to improve on everything
Having suppressed memories unearthed and asking the psychiatrist
Can you rebury that? At least for the week
I just already am dealing with so much
Dealing with being
Dealing with knowing I won’t
