Hangover Redux

Take your time

this time, don’t treat the world

like a well, dip in, take out

don’t throw yourself into

oblivion;

this time

take time

ease your way

into it, like dipping

a toe into the

river instead

of your entire body

its not a damn

baptism;

Take your time,

JR, you eager

boy, let it carry you

instead of

throwing yourself

away.
