Rain Man's Carousel

drank a glass of pinot noir
just to drink it
because it looked so pretty
in the red-stemmed wine glass
I hadn't used since Austin
or was it Nederland
when I got drunk to Billie Holiday
The Doors and Otis Redding
and pissed on the bedroom floor
drank a glass of pinot noir
and asked you how to pronounce it
asked you for a SKYDANCER Light
asked you to forgive me
my slanted ways
and now you are sleeping
and I am worried about today and tomorrow
and every day between now and New York
in December
when I dream of hanging out with you
in a blues bar in the Village
pretending like we're starving multi media geniuses
and everybody in the underground
loves us and wants to buy us
the next round.
