We’d drink

We’d laugh and drink

We’d stare and drink

We’d say we couldn’t care and drink

 

We’d talk and drink

He’d smoke and drink

We’d argue all night long and drink

 

I’d cry, we’d drink

He’d cry, we’d drink

Best have no time to think, just drink

 

We’d sleep then drink

We’d eat then drink

And further into sorry we’d sink

 

We’d sit and drink

We’d stand and drink

Let’s drink and just stay drunk we’d think

Weird - I can't see a profile anywhere!

Anyway, yep - I really like this. Seems so simple, but the repetition works really well.

It really reminds me of a Mary Gauthier song too, here

Works for me, Rebecca. The structure and repetition are effective in augmenting the mood of sodden despair which the poem's content communicates. If autobiographical, I hope it's history.
