One For
one for mum,she said
one for mum,she said
and down her throat
she sent half a bottle of whiskey
to comfort the first shot
that'd been feeling
quite lonely down there all by herself
with only some nuts to keep her company
one for dad
she thought
and noticed that the wine
turned to blood in her glass
she sat there mesmerized
thinking that drinking
has just made her a vampire
and that now she'll have to
suck every bit of life out of the first human being that comes her way
one for him
she remembered
lying on the bathroom floor
covered in vague memories
of a stranger's hands ripping her shirt open
while trying to spread-eagle her legs
with his knees
i guess i forgot to say please
she sighed
and kept watching the turquoise tiles
dancing around her
under a bleach white sky
hey, didn't they all have a ball it was one hell of a jacuzzi night
a whole bathtub of champagne
bubbled its way through her intestines
and because she was way too ladylike to vomit in the presence of others she gently adjusted her smile
and shat herself
one for mum
who was brainwashed by a sect
one for dad who thought it best to drink himself to death
i raise my glass to cancer
oh wait you can't toast a star sign
let's make it cigarettes then
and she got up on all fours
determined to locate her handbag
