arteries, veins capillaries:
how do they work as distilleries?
oh, it helps me be expressive --
don't mind the manic depressive:
he'll just sit here
and cry in his beer;
drink in the new year,
one for the road, one for the fear.
many an advertising exec is a vulture
swooping in on drinking culture:
pick diseased flesh from binge drinkers;
like an idiot drawn to piss-head thinkers
a naive man embraces it all ...
preserved in alcohol: a rapid fall.
