 an innocent evil.
 Socially acceptable
 evildoer.

Pint after pint,

 For what?
 A hangover?

You're a laugh
 for the first few.
 Then make no sense
 to me or you.

Broken glasses.
 Broken homes.

My brows, unwittingly.
It had all the earmarks of being light. 
An evildoer made of white. 
I'll reply by chance that he calls.
