while I am getting older
I like wine more than I like beer.
it gets the job done faster,
less pissing required.

hard liquor is good
for days when I don’t have the
time or stomach
to sit and wait with the beer
until everything goes away.

dry is better than sweet—
less headache,
less regret.
red is better than white.
supposed to be healthier.

on a good day, a bottle.
on a bad day, two.
on a terrible day, whisky,
sometimes pushed down with wine.
if things are really terrible—
the Hitchens cocktail.
feels like a nice balance.

I just don’t know what the coffee was for.

second bottle, but the day is good.
I don’t know what I’m doing anymore.
is all my writing fake?
