A Counter and Three Bottles of Vodka


A counter and three bottles of vodka =

One party, one-fifty people

Nine flights of steps and a rooftop =

A drunken mountain hike

Like a spiral staircase to heaven

One-fourty nine inebriated youths,

one sober set of eyes looking in,

one sober set of ears drinking in their words

Some spew philosophy,

The philosophy of nonsense trying to make sense,

Four writers and one mortician =

Three books about death, one corpse, and one steady cashflow

One whore and one prude=

One person

The girl who puts out and goes to the party and

The girl who refuses to cloud her thoughts with a depressant,

Like the champagne that flowed out after we won the war to end all wars

In the city that never sleeps, the city that never returned to sobriety,

And we wonder why we never see a star in the night sky,

It's because of one counter and three bottles of vodka.
