[bodytext] => It's there again! I just know it!
Waiting for me to walk in the room. It stares at me with a face SO pale, and huge bloodshot eyes, that gawk at me in horror as I suddenly realize... This grotesque monster that drools at me with a tongue like a plate of zinc, is nothing more than the mirror, above my bathroom sink. So I stand there,gaping and wonder if this is really me, as I sink another 'Vincents' and a glass of 'Berocca B'. Then try in desperation to scrub the lining off my tongue, as I gasp so hard I wonder if perhaps I've lost a lung. And I hope I'll stop shaking long enough to put the lid on the tube of paste, as I see the white blobs that line my sink, and think, "how much I waste" Then I turn on the cold water and fall into the shower, and stagger back into my bed, for just another hour. But the rotten bed just won't keep still, so as I toss and spin and heave, and wonder where I was last night and what time did I leave... I swear to myself that I will never touch another drop, that is...until the next time, "oh damn! now where's the mop"?
