Carrot Face

I woke up
and went to the mirror
in the small
bathroom

I stared blankly
for a moment 
and then understood
I was dying

My face
 above the lip
 had gone
orange

Had I finally gone
too far
with my
drinking?

Sometimes rum
sometimes
whiskey
always intoxicating

Then I remembered
the carrot juice
I gulped down just before
 I hit the last snooze

Well that explains
my orange face
but how do I
keep from dying?
