I searched the internet
And discovered a poetry reading
Half a mile from my boyfriend's
Place
I was excited
And nervous
Wondering what it would be like
I took a drink
A big drink
Of vodka
And left the comfort
Of my boyfriend's apartment
And began to walk
Each step giving me more
More and more
Anxiety
My head started to get light
My anxiety subsided
I should have gone to the bathroom
Before I left
It's only half a mile
I'll be able to go
When I get there
I keep going forward
Reciting a poem
I had written
Just in case it was open mic
I truly didn't know
What to expect
Would there be finger snapping
People with the mic
Way too close to their mouths
Spitting words
As if they were rapping
My imagination swirled
I start to smile
I was going on an adventure
No matter how small it was
It was still an adventure
This would be a good time
Finally
I get there
My heart plummets
My bladder almost gives
It was canceled
