ALCOHOLICS?

she asked

if we were alcoholics

cos we were putting it down us

like madmen

like Deadwood

and we were just stripping wallpaper on a Wednesday

(she did a bottle of wine in an hour

but it was her first night off in 8 yrs)

i said/shot glass held next to my grin/that we

WERE - of an evening

and she

was happy with that

and

drunk enough to Shake and Vac my bungalow into the small hours
