flash 1

The man looks at the mirror

He seems himself - whatever self means

he needs a drink, but what will quench his thirst

milk, no
gin, yes
vermouth, yes
tasty mix = martini
three olives

there are many ways to find drink in this town
heathens!
don't close your eyes
man, the service sucks here

the drink has not been ordered
shall i wait for her to ask?
or should i get the attention of another's gaze?

tanqueray never fails or else the riddle makes no sense

the thirst, my god, the thirst
fiend for the medicine
Quinn at my doorstep

close one eye and look upon the world,
see what they see

hallucination memory
no click. pose. cut.

you're on the runway
and China has a cameo

what else can you say to that
except that you fall off the runway at the final step

tumble, down, fall, faceflat, above ground.
the crowd, it yelps, questioning if what has been even existed

no one knows because everyone's drunk and reminiscing parties,
Oh god no! I've stumbled into a hedonist group fest. I can't see.

Anything as I run. The faster I run, the louder the music gets,
until i piss myself

then I wake up in a field, looking at the stars, lying in pig shit

crying to myself.
