Nevermind

Five glasses changed my mind.

Seems like ticking hands are taking their time.

I guess I've been at home for longer than it takes to unwind,

So slap me if I step out of line

Now in smaller spaces,

Careless lust intoxicated.

Away from prying eyes

And rabid smiles

and everything's shattering.

My invitation was involuntary dilation

And now I can't recall your name.

I think we've met before.

It was last Christmas on our parents' accord.

You were the young man in the costume that was hard to ignore,

And I was feeling hopelessly bored.

Now your conversations, scholarships, and occupations.

You look so different than before,

When...

Nevermind, anyway...

This reckless violation,

Tarnishing my reputation,

Has left me nothing kind to say.
