Bottles of varying shapes and sizes
flavours based in their roots or rotting
Chemical signature only slightly tweaked
potency signified volume to volume (v/v)
Yet the one plan they all fall in
one master they serve without questioning
To take the indulgent one
away from the present
albeit momentarily
albeit sodden with vomit and guilt
Gin, rum, whisky or wine
or the friendly beer unassuming
Levels of inebriation each
to take you from yourself
Man's revenge against
millennia of evolution
