There’s always
a lot of stress
when a beverage
is involved.
The stress invoked
is magnified greatly
if the beverage in question
is an adult beverage.
------
The peace finally settles begrudgingly,
Wrestled down by logic
a restless defiant twitch still huffing under its breath lingers
I force my self to bestow the usual cruelty,
Indifference.
-------
My mind is now my own.
Dissertations written at lighting speed across my mind scape
Once flashing dire warnings, fade.
------
I breathe deeply...
It's time for me to unfurl, lay myself out like a star
And soak in the glorious day
Melt away the furrows and deep valleys of concern
And focus on a bright future of freedom and whimsy romance
-------
Who the fuck am I kidding?
