I'm not as drunk, thank God, as yesterday
How I struggled to write that bloody verse
But tonight, in contrast, I'm still au fait
With what you'd call reality. I'm terse
Maybe, but that's the way it is. What's worse
Is when you're lying on your bed, dropping
Off to sleep with each line. I must confess
I've behaved better today. Recalling...
I went to Spandau, West Berlin, morning
On Sunday, quiet, with little delay
The U-Bahn took me back to the Palace
In Charlottenburg. Then I went walking
To Tiergarten and the River Spree
Then Kreuzberg... Lastly, drinks with the others
Sun 24 July
