One For 

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
