i remember
the day
i gave up drinking
not that i drank that much
to begin with,
and then i was out and about
with my
friend betty and in order
to tolerate
her stories
i had to have a gin
and tonic.
two, actually,
with a slice of lime.
they relaxed me and made
my eyes wander
around the room.
it wasn't long before she
was kicking me
beneath table, and saying
are you even listening
to me.
my cat's sick and was
coughing up fur balls
the other day, don't you
even care?
