Hold your head high,
support with something white,
feathery, your head will feel lighter,
woolly, almost floaty.
Resist cradling your knees,
as an infant,
keep your chin up,
try a crutch-
Jack or Gin,
may help keep a stiff upper lip,
for a while,
you always wake though
and the air's been sucked out
of your eyes, your head is filled
with rocks, it's hard to hold your head high,
keep your chin up,
when you keep falling over.
