Daydreaming By George Gad Economou

alcoholic daydreams of better 

days that shall never

come to life; it doesn’t matter, for some

hours the world is at your

grasp, just reach out and touch

the dreams of childhood, the insane fantasies

that have fueled too many a nightmare. be here,

drunk, brilliantly intoxicated, and never

let inebriation end; it’s how you’ll

make it, eventually, either to the hall of fame or

to the unmarked grave. the journey’ll

be a blast, the blackouts monumental, and the stories

you’ll tell St. Peter will rival those of the biggest carousers.
