#of wine and poetry

i thought you were water, crystaline, clear, refreshing water… but no, you were strong tasted, bitter, it burned when i drank you, you were vodka. the kind of vodka that leaves you blind and stupid. the kind of vodka that makes you cry and vomit.
sometimes you tasted like a shirley temple, or a sex on the beach… you know, one of those sweet drinks that make your teeth hurt. those drinks that you can never find the vodka taste in… but then hangover comes, and all you can taste is bitterness in your tongue and a toothache that makes you think your teeth will fall off. But it all passes by, you know? it all evaporates.- even vodka.
