Week 4: Hangover Poem

The Real Hangover

I am here.
Only to escape the shouting inside.

With a pounding head, an angry liver, and a spinning world, 
It's really all I can do. 

I lay down hard in the cool grass, 
The sharp blades poke my hot skin harshly.

I recall the expectations and let-downs of the night,
What I can remember of them, anyway.

An oblivious ant scurries across the mountain of my arm,
I don’t feel enough to care.

I close my eyes, shutting out the sunshine,
trying to forget the pain behind them.
