Good Good Friday

I just did it, I just took that  
First drink after 40 days and  
I’ve got to tell you, it’s even  
Sweeter than I remember  
In fact, I suggest all you
Drunks take a break every  
Once in a while, I don’t know  
About 40 days, but a week,  
Maybe two
This is my transition from  
Alcoholic poet to health and  
Lifestyle guru because after  
40 days, I know what it’s  
like to be a recovering addict  
and now I’m going to annoy  
all of you  
 
I’m watching my favorite  
Writer talk about his new  
Book and trying to explain  
Away all the controversies to  
The legion of pussies that is  
This generation  
 
I’m back to drunk writing, so  
There’s going to be all these  
Non sequiturs  
 
They wanna see me at my worst  
So, fuck it, I’m gonna give it to them  
Why not keep your eye on the prize?  
See if you can follow me through with this  
 
Our natural inclination is to build  
Cages around ourselves  
 
The biggest mistake you ever made  
Is not saying it enough  
 
It’s 10:36pm and I’m wondering  
How much longer I can stay up  
Easter is tomorrow, 2 days after  
Lent has ended and I’m just into  
A binge I know will last at least  
A week  
 
See all those good things that happened  
When you were sober all get dissolved  
After that first sip, that’s all it is, a sip  
And what happens is a rambling piece  
Because the cage has been busted open  
And you begin to just start saying all  
The things you always wanted to  
Because pussies never lasted and  
That means whatever you think it does  
 
In this year of Our Lord,  
Wednesday,  
April 24th,
