That One Time

I am so sure...

By BrenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

that one time

we saw Dooley

in the hospital

came off his Kwaka nine

put his thigh bone

through his pants

we laughed

and sniffed more gas

that one time

we didn't smell gas

and fuckin Brett

blew up dinner

and half the kitchen

and the microwave

we bought for fifty bucks

off that bloke

at the pub

that one time

at the pub

probably drinking

probably drunk

hopefully watching a band

maybe in the car park

doing shady shit

for little bags

that one time

that one little bag

we were up

for three days

eyes like spotlights

spouting genius bullshit

talk was cheap

there was a sale on

that one time

there was a sale on

we filled a trolley

with shit

and took

the trolley

home

on the train

that one time

on the train

they cut the power

and we had to walk

along the tracks

to Town Hall

in the dark

that one time

in the dark

i got out

of the wrong side

of the bed

and nearly

fell out the window

i'm sure the earth

just pivoted a bit

not me

    First things first, what a trip! second things second, how much of this is autobiographical, hah?

    Love how each situation refers to another place or thing that becomes the focus for the next. Great poem. Very engaging. Perhaps this guy needs to go into rehab… 😂😂
