Drunk, begging for money
Unwashed and stinking
How did I get reduced to this?
In abandoned youth
Drank to joyful excesses
Knowing alcoholism
Never a problem
Just a fashionable pastime
Among my twenties peers
Just an obligatory
Passage of youth
Now a fifties failure
Lost jobs, broken marriages
Homeless and hurting.
