in vino veritas

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
Physically present, the rest may be somewhere altogether…

These words pour forth,
fluid as cheap wine,
vividly dressed,
like any branded vintage.

Gentle on tired pockets,
they dull the mind’s edge;
after a few goblets,
they all blend into one.

        I am led to believe it all tastes the same after the third or fourth pint .. and tends to loosen the tongue as well as any remaining inhibitions .. cheers 🍷🍷🍷🍾

          i don't drink, but have seen words pouring forth spontaneously like the wine in the barrels after just one, two pegs - good observation

            Observation is a very useful tool for writing ✍️ but you already know that, thanks kindly NafisaSB!
