by Alex Aguilar


  I eat the meat pie within minutes. It fills my liquor-ridden belly.

  And then I feel the exhaustion start to settle in.

  I make it to my bed this time. I lie there, inebriated and cold.

  Another night in hell…

  At times it’s difficult to tell my dreams apart from reality, they’re so often bleak.

  ‘Tis the burden of the liberal mind.

  And so I close my eyes and force myself into a deep slumber, silently wishing I could sleep forever… Or, if not forever, then at least until the seventh day…
