Poem
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise Prov. 20:1 Darkened oxidation changing personality Liquid fermentation altering perception of reality Look long into the bottle, you see fire in the water It burns you as you swallow, your memory now getting shorter Release the genie from the lamp, set free the jinn from it’s shapely confine But you will wish you never did ... Hyde-and-seek is such a dangerous game Hiding from the truth, seeking answers by way of 100-proof Blackout is a mind-eraser tramp Dr. Jekyll prognosis: too much wine at the dine Good manners went off the grid, mild-mannered you now ain’t the same Saccharine sweet talk turns into acidic argument Civilized behavior turns primitive Fermentation is bubbling ... God knows, you wish you could put what you just said back in the bottle Uncorked repressions of guilt and anger agitating anew Then, just as quickly, a reverse change in attitude Fungi perversions start growing in you, carbonizing your thoughts ... propagating strange desires Corrupt carnal pleasures souring your mind Fermented spirits, darkened oxidation Breathe in the aromatic conversion ... intoxicating vapors releasing your inhibitions A different you comes babbling through Drink deep the pungent madness ... complex organic compounds chain reacting into fast acting mental breakdowns Taste the seething mix of the witches brew ... Let the liquid serpent sting bite you, creating violent excitation Lustful permutations conceived through darkened oxidation Fermented spirits have drunkenly deceived you
