Consolations

Consolations

The consolations, sir, of alcohol
I’ve been denied for five whole fucking days.
Similar suffering I can’t recall!
The consolations, sir, of alcohol
To me were not embarrassing at all—
But, lacking them, I wander in a maze.
The consolations, sir, of alcohol
I’ve been denied for five whole fucking days!
