On Jeffery Getting Drunk For The First Time

RIP WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS

Jeffery was invited by a mutual friend
to a party the other day, whereupon arriving
he found that nearly everyone was already
passed out on beds and couches and--when all else 
failed or was already taken--the floor. He stood
for a while and thought about driving home,
and then decided instead to stay and drink a discarded
bottle of vodka. It did not go down 
easily. Yet Jeffery was able to withstand the
repulsive taste for long enough in order to 
flop down on an L-shaped couch in the next 
room and feel his face grow uncomfortably warm and
watch ten minutes or so of Out of Africa and say something
strange and irrelevant to no one in particular like Yeah man 
I f*****g hate women
and then fall asleep.
