John Arribas Poet Rhyme

Epilog To Vic's Place

EPILOG TO VIC’S PLACE
by

JOHN M. ARRIBAS


I’m an alcoholic and no one seems to care
My woman enables me due to her own despair
If she really loved me, she would take up the fight
To keep me from becoming the neighborhood blight
But you see, she’s addicted in her own way
She puts up with my antics hoping I won’t go away

I’m free of worldly pressure after a drink or two
She justifies her existence no matter what I do
No doubt, we are both losers in this pathetic relationship
Aiding and abetting each other in a moribund partnership
It’s a vicious circle with no end or beginning
Continuing downward til the final inning
