liquor or licker keeps the pig greasedthe flywheel spinning the moat filled with denizens
who are curious if sunlight warms and loosens joints sees horror or clasps its
eyes shut
liquor provides an innarestin
question
Am
I wrioting because Im drinking or drinking because Im wrioting? Ill allow this rare question mark
when one tenders a questioneven of themselves it isnt good manners not to offer
an answer or perhaps a reason
Im disappointed I can admit that
I know many more people than I thought possible who should know better than
throwing a question outthrowing it into a mix without stating where they stand their
opinion
rather they suddenly act reticent
closedmouth they stand before me trying
to hide the big wood spoon behind their backs that they ably stirred the pot as it drips on the floor making a mess a slick to step in track elsewhere or
possibly slip on and fall probably deny it was their fault
Im aware of this because I can
see the ooze spread behind them at their heels
Im aware too because by not sayingnot
offering an answer to their question their prying with a smile their
interrogation asif it were their prerogative
I
know I cant turn my back to them
theres few people who have my back
its damn near physically impossible contortionists weird me out
to turn ones back on themselves
Am I wrioting because Im drinking
or drinking because Im wrioting?
its really the same coin
on any given day I could say I lubricated
myself to get the ball rolling or yesOR the
ball was rolling and I wanted to minimise frictionlubricate its path so it could
roll and wind as far as it possibly could
not overly oiled subtly
it takes
practise
Ive been wrioting since I was a
girl my parents accused my brothers of raiding
their liquor cabinet of course they did but
even they didnt know I was liberating spirits
