the cock crows at 5PM
mad hungover
dying of thirst
making the worst of it
a valiant blob of intelligence
grabs hold of a toothbrush,
a trophy, and a handwritten will,
jumps out the window
and turns into a tourist,
checking his watch
as every reality he's ever known
is distorted, thinned out,
and spun well around his frame
O cocoon,
take me home soon
