spilled a glass of milk
and saw the wasted years
got down on my knees
to reach for the last warm beer

seduced the fridge with roughness
but the fridge remained unchanged
i bought a drink once for a girl like that
more dead than an off-duty train

a pain deep in both shoulders
and crippled unresponsive shins
left me worse than an old turtle
erect without a way to take off pants

hell, i'm so dehydrated, i'll watch commercials
about creams, health insurance, and e.d. pills.
take me winter, i'm ready
to find me a warm, black bear hole to fill
