The Drunk

He dances to the
Rythm of wine
His movements unsteady
Pushed to and fro by the 
wind
Like a child learning
How to walk
He rises and fall

All eyes is fixed
On him
Suddenly he becomes
An entertainer
All enjoy his
Stupid act.

The path to his home
He cannot find
In the gutter he finds
A new home
The stones he uses as 
pillows
He is freed from the 
thoughts of life.
