Dictionary diving*

notwithstanding

go-round

victimize

room and board

featherbed

contrast

cokehead

tequila sunrise

opponent

front burner



UPDATE:

Contrast the cokehead with his opponent,

drinker of Tequila Sunrise. Let them go-

round once or twice, another shot, another

snort, another punch or two. Listen to

the featherbed of your heart, notwithstanding

any cheerfulness thus falsely roomed and boarded.

On the front burner, you're thinking victimize.

You're thinking what'm I doing here at all.
