Drunken Poem

in the mirror, I lick my teeth
and find a smile that shows canines
-what girl could resist-
man, I can feel my eyes dilate

a junk funk jive step across the bar
I flow with conversation
and raise my volume above laughter
and the clink of glass

I'm pumping blood
I'm pushing air
I'm sucking current
and burning gasoline
I've got my mojo working
I'm magnesium bright tonight
