I Am Not

I am not a bad memory,
quickly deleted by a shot of tequila.

I am not an old episode,
removed by a simple click of the remote.

I am not walking the line,
successfully coping with the natural beauty of infidelity,
moving beyond the Gravitational Pull;
nor dealing well with the loss of my icons.

I am not doing a good job of forgiving,
and I'm doing an even worse job of forgetting
(in spite of dousing my brain in 100 proof.)

I am not quitting smoking.
I am not throwing away the ideals that meant nothing to you.

I am not getting better.

I am not done with this...

[Tobin S.]

1. I'm not drunk, but I have plans for later today. This seems appropriate.

Beer

If wine is divine
then beer is heavenly.

You know when life gets going strong
that there is absolutely nothing wrong
with throwing back a cold six pack
to ease you of your panic attack.

And when it seems like life is hell
and everyone is ringing your bell
invite them out to have a drink
and drink the brew until you stink.

And if your mate leaves you one night
old beer never grows trite
it will be there ever faithfully
to share in your poor misery.

But you really don’t need an excuse
to put good beer into use
all you really need is a five spot
and a place to keep it from getting hot.
