Ale

It comes in waves

 
Author's Commentary
Times are frustrating.
I hate being under 21.
Let me have
a beer with lunch.
I’ll forget that
I was miserable before
and in an hour or so,
I’ll be miserable again.
And until that
slight slight buzz
wears away,
time will move just
a little bit faster.
Tomorrow will come sooner,
and though that will be
another discontenting day,
I can have another beer,
another reprieve,
with tomorrow’s lunch.
And the next day,
the next lunch,
the next beer.

Someday soon,
I know,
things will turn around.

“Would you like a drink, sir?”
Just water, thanks

But for now,
allow me a little
ale for my ails.

We are told …

That love conquers all, and is all the people of this world and the next need in order to live a long, fulfilling life. Whoever said that either is too ignorant to remember this story or was simply deprived of hearing it spoke in the low, husky voice of an elderly man beneath a lazy moon on a cold winter’s night.
