Bukowski no. 35

Some mornings the alarm goes off and you are sure
that it is for someone else but you realize it goes on too long
so you push all the gin off your heart and bring silence to the world
for nine long minutes.
You don’t remember why you drank so much
or any of the reasons that explain why you are shackled to pain
but after a few minutes of being awake
you remember everything that has ever happened to you
so as soon as you can you start drinking again.
