After a night of drinking no wonder he thought he had Covid!. He looked in the mirror looked pretty tough.
Good work. An enjoyable read.


The last word is scrambled.

This was enjoyable to read, Jake. You did a spectacular job with what you had to work with. I had some wild nights, but never in Bangkok, lol. Impressive!

    thanks it is like many of my "sam Adams" poems based on real life experiences. Sam Adams is my main fictional character. The name popped up in a dream and so most of my fictional protagonists are named Sam Adams who is a direct descendent of the colonial Sam Adams of the beer fame.

The objective correlative of your work reminisces uncertainty expressed in the mind of a protagonist as to whether he has been infected by COVID-19.

The work highlights his estranged outlook in a mirror; his quick resolution that he has been infected by COVID-19; and his longing for coffee. But permit me to ask you this question: what is the word that you used in ending your poem?

The work earns its texture through its effective use of alcoholic anecdotes.

Excellent work. Bravo.
