the braille room

it's the drugs,
the water,
the coffee the tea,
the juice,
the watermelon
slice
the size of my arm.
all of it combined
to make
me get up six times
in the middle of the night
to relieve myself,
and not just
a trickle,
but a full racehorse
stream. 
but there's
no need to turn
on the light.
i got this,
i'm Stevie Wonder,
i'm Ray Charles,
I'm Jose Feliciano
and Helen Keller all
wrapped into
one
in the dead of night.
