talking with god

the tequila
didn't set well
with the chinese
noodles dripping
in sweet sauce.
and that hot pepper
that you accidentally
ate mistaking
it for beef
is still glowing
someplace deep
inside you. it was
a  mistake trying
to douse that flame
with three mai tai's.
it will be a
day of reckoning,
a day of examining
the tiles
of your bathroom floor
and asking
god for forgiveness,
and of making vows
that you can't
possibly keep.
