he was a very sober fellow
full of profound instances
especially when he had had
a little bit too much to drink

he would nod an unsteady head
and proclaim pearls of wisdom
that floated down to the bottom
of a glass half emptied of booze…

time will pass (he would muse)
through the eyes of a bottle
drop by drop by precious drop
well i have no excuse do you

(or) the meaning is the message
but there really is no message
thus there really is no meaning
do you see what i really mean

(and) the vagaries of existence
lead one to perhaps determine
all living is of random motion
but deep waters still run silent…

lost in his thoughts and sauce
his amber reflection was seen
like a liquid portrait of two eyes
painted by an anguished artist.
