Midnight Supper Series: Tequila
This Deepavali, I drank too much.
It didn’t seem like a bad idea at the time;
as I quaffed cup after cup of liquid courage, relishing its fiery passage down my throat,
It didn’t seem like a bad idea at the time;
even when the room started spinning, and my words began to slur, that I probably could no longer recognize my own mother,
It didn’t seem like a bad idea at the time;
until I got home and all the briyani and mutton curry came back out the wrong way, presenting itself once again, but no longer as appealing as it was hours before,
as I cradled the toilet bowl, quite nearly throwing up my small intestines, calling out to sweet Jesus and the many Indian deities to flush out the alcohol in my system,
It turned out that too much tequila was a bad idea after all.
