Alcohol Poisoning Engulfed in a vast cloud of dizziness and confusion. Remember not what is said, or actions taken. Time appears defective as if the hands ricochet around the surface of the clock regardless to that discerned. Recklessly impaired, nauseated & socially solitary. Mentally vacant, departed, physically wasted and weakened. Staggering asthmatically around, relentlessly trying to embrace a state of symmetry. All realization lost, concern at its pinnacle. Unable to readjust oneself, alertness effortlessly slips from grasp, Spinning in and out of consciousness, lying there, answering to no one but the steadfast concrete floor. Distant memories astray, deteriorating recollection. Frantic, emotions contorted on the inside. Passive, motionless and a state of tranquil on the outside. Approaching the brim of mortal resignation. |

Oh yes! Well said! I give you an A+ for clarity because I (even I) could follow your meaning all the way through. It staggers in line length and rhyme just as it should. I like the 'on the inside/on the outside' views. Funny you didn't mention that 'great porcelain throne' where you might lay your head (lol) Maybe that's the beauty of it's absence- I kept waiting for it-and I'm glad you didn't have to visit that infamous hall of fame. (smile)
It's a great read and a reminder too...thanks for posting this!
