DRUNKS
You came over on a chilly day in May
with a bottle of vodka,
and never left for two years.
When I passed out,
you stood me up naked in the shower.
I felt reassured that you knew
how to handle a drunk
other than yourself.
When you left, it was for another woman
who didn’t drink.
How was she ever going to talk to you
without a glass
in her hand?
