Chistmas and Ex Drinker

Christmas and ex-drinker

Christmas day at a green rural hotel and 
for the first time in my life I was the only 
non-drinker and this made me feel superior 
since no other feelings were not available
 such as envy I had goat chops with salad 
about the only thing on the menu not sugary 
or fattening the sense of superiority grew
to odium, I spoke aloud to show how happy 
I was and when they had liqueur and went on 
the terrace fo ra smoke I preferred to sit inside 
feeling superior and crying into my napkin
