hank would
drain a bottle
of red
have a six pack
some bourbon
and that
goddamned redhead
driving him
every night

i don’t have
an eighth of
his talent
but i can
out self hate
the scarred prick
any day of
the week

my problem
has always
been of the
blonde variety

we don’t get
to pick our
particular
poisons
but we sure
as fuck
get to let
them devour us
at our leisure
