Life As A Bottle Sip

Folder: 
Vintage Words

.

I pull a long one from the lip

of the bottle and living flows

mouth to throat to where my

stomach wants to wretch.

.

I take it in gigantic gulps daily

to imbibe shock, surprise as

horror, or the mundane,

the common as habit, useful

or useless, no matter.

.

I drink a toast, then drink another

toast. The idea is to keep the booze

of life flowing in. The regurgitation

comes later, like the requirements

of hard assimilation that separates

the rye from the chaff.

 .

To live is to liquify expanding

body's cells fully. There are no

limits, no stop signs, only green

that means go. Never mind the

spillover. In this work, excess

will out.
