      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      A Hangover to Remember

      The party was

      overwhelming

      Several of us

      jammed on some

      funk tunes in the

      basement

      We were surrounded

      by party

      goers who were there

      to celebrate

      the host’s, Tom, new

      album release

      It was great work

      An original sound but

      no subgenres needed:

      it was a

      rock n’ roll album

      He held the party

      in his parent’s

      basement because we

      used to party

      down there in high

      school and it

      was a big space,

      especially for

      instruments and

      drunken celebration

      The concrete stairway

      to the outside

      was covered, like

      cockroaches to a

      hoarder’s house,

      by potheads

      with their glass pipes

      and their cigarettes

      and their glasses

      overflowing with liquor

      That seems hypocritical

      because I was holding

      a cigarette and swishing

      a beer around a glass

      in one hand and

      lighting a joint in

      my mouth

      with the other

      I spoke with Tom’s
