Have another drink on me May 20, 2024

  

None of it

Is ever self-evident,

We just stumble from

One thing to the next

Like drunkards

Having had our fill

In one tavern,

Looking for another

That will let us

Overflow,

My head filled

With the confusion

Time always brings,

A change of perspective

Marginally more accurate

Than what I first thought,

Giving lie to the idea

More drinks make us

Drunker, when

We can’t get any drunker

Regardless of how

Much more we drink,

Trying to make sense

Of now as compared

To back then,

Trying to clear away

The fog,

Knowing it can’t be

Cleared,

And what was a mystery then

Still is.
