of god
knows what
is what is
fulfilling
Punch’s
introspection.
He flings
from him-
self his better
half so
damn well
only he
remains.
His health
resists his
occupancy,
but Punch
loves being
drunk
with fever
and delirium
is the best
alternative
medicine
to rum.
Sweet Jesus,
Punch loves
days like
this one.
