Lee Crowell - while i am drunk

tonight while i am drunk
i want to put down in words
these thoughts that right now seem so profound
and tomorrow
if they still dance
if they jump up from the page
if they get in my face
and command my attention
like a front row seat at a Clapton jam session
if they seem less stupid than the myriad of utterances
that were tossed around this place tonight
then i will know there is a reason to drink anytime

Lee Crowell
