Valium Poetry I

I've learned not to follow the instructions

I am the craziest version of myself when I'm on an airplane. I like to travel, I just hate flying. I try to be conscientious and respectful of fellow passengers. So I self-medicate, with Ativan, Ambien, Percocet, or Valium (my fave). And I always throw back some wine post-takeoff to really smooth things over. Immediately before my eyelids turn to lead and I get all slack-jawed and drooly, I feel a sudden impulse to write stuff. Here's the first of many hazy creations:

Please forgive me

Mommy had a 

...Margarita

A bottle of wine

and 2 Valiums

Because I hate to fly

But most of all 

I hate being

Without you
