The High Life

With bubbles fizzing

On my tongue

And sugar sticking

To my teeth

I can’t help but laugh

At that photograph

Knowing now what lay beneath

---

On (A) High

I
hope
you
will
remember

The
next
time
you
are
sad

I
could
have
been
there
for you

But
you
blew
every
chance
you had

So
now
you
will
find
me

Sitting
in my
ivory
tower
instead

Eating
strawberries
and
glugging
champagne

From
the
comfort
of my
bed
