Screaming at the Universe

I was hungover.

Bad.

I felt like puking
everywhere,
covering every inch of
sunlight
with my bile.

Instead,
the sun scorched
my skin
and fried
my idiot brain.

I kept on.

A tunnel was coming up,
a break from the heat,
but I could hear
madness
escaping from its
shadows.

There was no way around it.

I entered...

His name,
I don't remember,
his face,
red,
his eyes,
red,
his breath,
worse than mine,
his hands
bloody
and holding a beer.

He offered me one.

I accepted.

His words were
incoherent,
but I got the message.

Life is worthless.

Yet we keep going.

To what,
I don't know.

I threw up
after we departed.

I could hear him
screaming
at the universe.

There's really
not much else
anybody
can do.
