What do you do?

[rayheinrich]

"I drink whiskey 'til I pass out in a gutter." doesn't fit.
maybe
"I drink whiskey and stumble up my steps."
or something else matching the mood of the piece.

And I'd change:
"I play guitar for a crowd
of voices in my head,
and wish I could sing."

to just:
"I play guitar for a crowd
of voices in my head."

But it's quite wonderful no matter which one it is (as well as the poem).
