Lesson Learned

flat on my back
not yet blacked out
looking at the street light
or a full moon shining bright
in my inebriated state
couldn't distinguish between the two
a most peculiar view
used the curb as a pillow
felt soft at the time
woke up later with a knot on my head
red on my shirt where it had dripped and bled
in my inebriated state
coughed up and spewed out my dinner
crusted on my chin a gold medal winner
was a young teen invincible and determined
but then, very, very drunk
would never again to that degree cross that path
just took once to figure out the math
in my inebriated state
could not stand, see clear or feel
a perpetual spinning wheel
