Hangover Poem #3: Hungover Sex

from The Man Who Loved Beer by Kevin P. Gilday

/

lyrics

I lie like Christ crucified on your bed
Oblivious to the words you said
Sick to my stomach, sick to my soul
Admirably sporting a conciliatory tent pole

I may be on the edge of spewing
But that doesn't mean this avenue's not worth pursuing
Under the covers my hands explore with stealth
Only your touch can restore my health
And I know I'm at my least attractive
And there's no chance I'll be overly active
But this could be the turning point of my day
A chance to ejaculate those blues away

In the misty haze of the morning, sorry – mid afternoon
My Serotonin rises like a raging typhoon
Be a humanitarian and help me out
I don't believe in God but you can make me devout
For a few minutes at least, more if you're lucky
Abuse me like a chicken direct from Kentucky
Tenderly assault me as I lay defenceless
Stripped, unburdened and unpretentious

I want to frame you like a secret pornographer
Let me be your personal cartographer
Mapping the minute terrain of your body
Amateur photography – my favourite hobby

And with formalities complete I rise like a phoenix to the shower
To bask in the glory of my re-found power
High on endorphins my headache recedes
Brain gains traction amidst the tumble weeds
But we all know this is a temporary solution
Feeble body gaining some restitution
For the vulgarity inflicted upon this ruined temple the night before
Behaviour that should appal and abhor

And so the sickness rises again after this dreamy interlude
And on my optimism, reality intrudes
You see for every dirty deed there's always a receipt
And for every big comeback there's always a defeat
