Drink me down
Like a glass of water.
Quench your thirst
As all things do.
Take a drag
Reap the benefits.
Then pour a glass
Of me too.
Take a smoke,
Inhale, breathe.
You can’t because
You’re drowning too
Like me
I wanted to.
Lick the salt,
Watch him whip the horse
Win a race, cough up a lung,
And watch him reap the benefits.
Open a bottle
Or two, of scotch.
Pour the gold,
Take a shot.
And when you’re done,
Have a taste of whisky.
I just had
A taste,
The last drop.
“10 Minute Poetry” is my own weekly poet’s game, one in which I write an original piece of poetry, with nothing but a given title, in ten minutes.
