The Night of My Ten-Year Reunion

True story. Well besides from the bottle talking to me. I didn't go to my high school reunion for various reasons - one being that I don't feel I've done anything that remarkable since I've graduated, and didn't want to find out other chumps I've gone to high school with have. The poem stems from that.
I stay home, drinking from a bottle of scotch, aged twelve years.
Did you ever want to be more than this, I ask it.
Sure.
Well what then?
A Molotov cocktail. How about you?
I don’t know. A poet, I guess.
You and I kid, we aren’t that different, it tells me.
As I take another swig,
I can feel my skin turn to glass,
my booze-soaked guts burning,
and all I want is to throw myself
against this world, shatter and explode
into one great fireball people won’t soon forget.
