A Few Drinks In

I am fascinated by the creeping Numbness that loosens my fingers And tongue and words Are unleashed upon the unwashed Masses of unsuspecting people I am but the stuttering holographic image of truth And I speak it not now either For I have my mind beside me and against me It threatens to wrestle the liquor for driving privileges But Gin won --------------- Don't tell me to write when drunk. This happens.

The inner conflict in this poem is intruging Riverbank. At least you know the truth about who you are, LOL. I love the buzz of wine, beer and honey whiskey, thank God I've never developed an abuse of them or alcoholism, nor have I ever had a DUI. I actually sympathize with people who have gotten DUI's. I think DUI laws are corrupt. Super good use of alliteration with UN prefixes! Gotta admit, the holograms are XOOL though Riverbank! J.A.B.
