the night

my head feels like it's been smashed in a vise
feet are worn near bloody
my wallet is soaked
keys missing
there are still big gobs of jello in my pockets
friend spent the night in the hospital
cigarette pack completely destroyed
pantless girls and drunken hours in the pool
my little room full of people in the morning
laughed, smiled, bodyslammed, comforted those who were crying
and those who went too far
and in the end all were happy
and all was perfect

and the world was bearable for one more day.
