nicolas m. soto - NOT QUITE NORMAL

couldn't sleep so i took a long drink out of the vodka bottle and stood up.
fell down.
turned on the radio and Mahler was trapped in it.
reached the bottle and took a gentle sip, so fucking elgant, so fucking not me.
stood up once again and walked towards the window, the neon lights buzzed my name.
insomnia is a bad thing when your'e drunk, don't go out said the fish you'll get killed.
fish don't talk man
should have listened cause saving a cat (who has seven lives) from getting runned over by a drunk driver got me in this stupid coma, in this stupid hospital, with this stupid sober doctors.
the fish is by my side saying i told you so.
