30. Counting Change

By OutOfLizWorld

You dress the back of my throat with the taste of vodka
Stale in this low blood sugar morning
I always wanted to be a starving artist
It wracks the body with aches and pains
Accenting your muscle tone with my moans
Drop a quarter at the laundromat to tell me what I know
I'm underweight but not technically unhealthy
Drop ten pounds after your hundred forty
The food sat out all night but my stomach has no ulcers
Back to the vodka when there's not much left
Acid in my stomach curdles and sways
Time to count the change on the floor
Or what's left of it
