Drunk Koala: Dark Chocolate

By Lucidity Lamb

All the days are blending,

But I think I heard a truck

Barreling down the open road

-Thought I’d try my luck.

I moved as quickly as I could,

I saw it coming fast.

And faster from the window

Flew a wrapper and some ash.

I made it to the wrapper,

It had bounced and rolled.

It smelled of something new to me,

Something dark and bold.

I’m just a drunk koala,

Don’t pay me any mind.

I’m in between a snack and nap

And I’ve got loads of time.

I picked it up and licked it.

The taste was divine:

Eucalyptus mixed with lightning,

Then mixed with blood and time.

I admit I was hazy.

I was moving pretty slow.

But I remember it quite clearly,

And I’ve just got to know.

What do you call this flavor?

And how can I get more?

Time to find my way to town

And knock on someone’s door.

I’m just a drunk koala,

Don’t pay me any mind.

I’m in between a snack and nap

And I’ve got loads of time.

Nearby, a car was resting.

And I guess I climbed inside.

I slept until the humans

Climbed in and made it drive.

They parked by a building

and laughing went inside.

They didn’t see me moving

Even though I didn’t hide.

I waited by a window

Until the moaning stopped.

I was hungry and clear-headed

But it was too late to stop.

I’m just a drunk koala,

Don’t pay me any mind.

I’m in between a snack and nap

And I’ve got loads of time.

I slashed through the screening

And let my nose find the treat

I took the bag right out the window

And wandered to a tree.

I climbed up high and settled,

Putting the bag somewhere safe.

I first had some eucalyptus

To take the edge of the ache.

When I was good and fuzzy,

I slashed through the bag and bars.

I slowly took a bite or five

And started to see stars.

I’d been a busy koala

And that’s just not my style

So I’ll leave the rest for later

And take a nap for a while.

I’m just a drunk koala,

Don’t pay me any mind.

I’m in between a snack and nap

And I’ve got loads of time.
