The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Ice Cream and Apps

This world is too dangerous
for those who seek meaning or reasons
and although some says no,
the pain clock covers all seasons.
Around here there is this thirst for gasoline,
and the rush to staunch the frustrations
that fills the suburban avenue with smoke.
That's where motels swallow wishes in pairs,
they're producing the new breed of desperate
who happily fool themselves with ice cream and apps
under a sky that sheds everything but hope.
get your passwords.
everyone is welcome to the butcher shop.
