i want to engage in bar stool political discourse
and have rain down from heaven
beer and acceptance of my failures
beginning just one more time to understand
myself and my place in this world
i want to listen to water cooler gossip
without it being about me
i come off as scandalous and raucous
when i’m just a girl seeking the ultimate good time
i want for people to stop asking me
what my personal project is
and focus more on who i am as an artist, a lover, a friend
but you can’t always get what you want
i realize from past failures
i’ll just be happy with what i have
and tell everyone who doesn’t like it to
fuck off
my hedonism is not a character flaw
but a liberation of the spirit, the modern woman
now who wants to join me while i do another shot
and hit on the bartender?
