New Poem: "Liquid Plumber"


Liquid Plumber

Give me cause to take a drink,
oh what a drunk I could have been;
another blow, another disappointment,
another change is in the air, —

Panic, and fear pours into my weary soul
like scalding liquid plumber, cleansing me
of all security and giving me cause
to drink and become a drunk.

The pastures are greener on the other side,
but fear blinds me; I pray and pray and pray
that it will go away, but life is here to stay,
here to stay, here to stay, here to stay, —

Oh what I drunk I could have been!
