Drinking metaphors...

This table is our couch,
the drink I buy you
is our pillow.
You lean and confide,
In this moment here, now-
I can only pity your despair.
All thought dear,
is a veneer, waiting to be

corroded by time;
all bonds are
'basically' built by bricks of emotion.


Perhaps yes, I wonder
or pretend to

and
fiddle with my glass;
In a brief silence,
I try to reach out to your pity

while you take out your cigarette.

I cant.
Do you know, I ask, the difference
between a cake and a biscuit?
……No ,
Both are 'essentially' made of same,
just , one gets harder with time and the other
softer

I utter, lighting your cigarette.

cake and a biscuit? chips and kabobs are more like it :)

The kind reproach and the bit of wisdom should be over a drink, just like the poem. Cheers.
