In that blurry kingdom of inspiration,
\nmuses are trapped in coloured bottles
\nwhere grain alcohol transports them onto blank pages.<\/p>\n
These muses dance on the slippery pages,
\nmaking efforts to stick, to be counted, and be read.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, the birthed words fly into the eyes of the drinker
\nwho then shakes off catapulted confusion by seeking the bottle once more.<\/p>\n
Paper balls, cracked pen stems, and white spaces adorn.
\nIn a sane minute or two, a sensible chord is struck
\nin that cloud of dust where clarity is ephemeral.<\/p>\n
It might be great art to gamble with muses resident in a bottle;
