A glass that stinks of gin<\/p>\n
straight from the bottle<\/p>\n
or the Juniper berry<\/p>\n
wherever Juniper trees grow<\/p>\n
next to the pond<\/p>\n
where the fish are forced to be huge<\/p>\n
so we have more fish to throw<\/p>\n
away when the fork scrapes the plate<\/p>\n
and fins and heads and scales and eyeballs<\/p>\n
hit the top<\/p>\n
layer of garbage<\/p>\n
that was pushed down<\/p>\n
as far as it could go<\/p>\n
so yesterday<\/p>\n
it was either that<\/p>\n
or take it out<\/p>\n
on the feelings of the person who deserved it.<\/p>\n
