Shot glass poetry 2
October 6, 2008Flight of the Neurons
or, seeing the universe in a bottle of whiskey
I could tell by the way
Your smile bloomed on your face,
By the weight of your arm
As it landed on my right shoulder,
By the way your words
Flowed like water out of your mouth,
That you were inebriated.
And the only way for me
To accept and return that smile,
For me to let you invade
My well-guarded personal space,
For me to comprehend and
Engage in this dizzying discussion,
Was to be in the same state.
So in this night it came to pass
That between us the bottle got
Passed, its contents poured
Into squat glasses with cubes
Of ice, the whiskey sparkling
At the precise moment when
Brain cells turned into stars.
again, for King
