Drink up and be merry

 

(date unknown)

 

We drink too much

Yet not enough,

And always

The wrong stuff,

These thoughts

Rattle around

In our heads

Like ice cubes

In an empty glass,

Deperate to refill

But don’t know how,

Rubbing it

As if a bottle

From which a genie

Might pop out,

If we rub

Long and hard enough,

Emptying into

The palms of our hands,

The white wine we

Ache to drink,

We drink too much

And rub too hard,

Aching for wishes

We have not yet earned,

Drinking in this passion

For something we know

Will explode from us

At any moment.
