Last Night
I threw myself in to a run
with nausea in my throat
and a pounding head...
Just the torture I needed
this morning.
The Night before was
a ten deck of cigarettes
and £70 of alcohol.
I chastised the Christians
for not thanking themselves
when their life was good.
I slurred my words.
I was the cunt again;
no honour, no respect.
No thought.
You all know
the impending sense of doom
as the night before
flashes back at you.
The long list of apologies
the karaoke nightmare
(yes, I did it again)
Fuck all of that.

Can relate all too well..when I awake to the type of mornings, and try to piece together the night, always starts with a shame that I try to laugh off and then get frustrated. This happens particularly when "im the cunt, with no honour,respect, or thought". I have no problem with being obnoxious-comes with the turf, but just thoughtless, loud asshole embarrasses me quite a bit.
The last line I thought was a bit of a cop out at first, but as I replayed my own shameful mornings, I realized that banishing that awkwardness often comes at the mantra of fuck that shit

One thing I have missed during my month long hiatus from DU is reading my favorite writer (although dp is a close second behind you.) One thing that I have not missed in the past year or so that I have been sober is:
"I was the cunt again;
no honour, no respect.
No thought."
Thanks for the read, as always Jamie. You're an inspiration.

I think you're missing a "y" on there, followed by "kitty", Unrefined Mind.
All that aside, I enjoyed you're poem Jamie, it's been a while, but I an relate.
Peace, Indie
