The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Warm Beer

Blame it on warm beer
at the stoplight.

My cerebrum throbs,
hodgepodge of noises:
windshield wiper's whirring whine,
depressing drone of tired traffic,
primeval beat of hip-hop sound;

the most jolting thing
in my line of vision:
a strapping traffic officer, his pen
and clipboard menacingly poised
to render judgment on me.

Blame it on warm beer
at the stoplight!
