Where Can Drinks Lead?

Sometimes, when I'm sitting in the middle of meeting, I start to daydream. Usually I doodle. Write words in an artistic way; whatever comes to mind. I might have a song in my head, so I draw out the titles or lyrics. Other times phrases come to mind based off of what someone might be saying in the meeting. Some of my poems come to me this way. This is how this poem started. It was actually at the bottom of the piece of paper with the beginning of my previous post (See: What's In Your Museum). I had forgotten about it until I found the paper in the pants pocket of my uniform. I tinkered around with it, changed a few lines and made the thought more complete. This is the result. Enjoy.

A Few Drinks

Ending sentences with ellipses

Maybe it’s the unknown with me

Or you don’t know the tools that equip me

I’m talking mentally and physically

As we see where these sips lead

Slowly sharing one another’s energy

Because I take drinks from your mind

Before I taste your bittersweet fruit

Sweet because it gives life

But bitter because it takes it too

Your sanity is in jeopardy once I’m inside you

And I can end up losing my mind too

At our special place is where I’ll fall through

That’s if our thinking is compatible

And after we decide if everything is palatable

For now, let’s enjoy these drinks

With no worries if our mentalities link
