in vino veritas

arqios

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

          • arqios

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