I needed another drink. The summer heatwave did not help my condition. It only gave me permission...to take another sip. I was contemplating cooling off.
I looked around for my shoes, my shades, and my keys. I grabbed the cup I was drinking out of...cause that's my special cup....when I'm feeling this way. When I want what I want, ain't no use trying to tell me...that I've had enough, or...that I know I shouldn't be drinking as hot as it is....I am very capable of doing me impeccably.
It's hot. Whewww. Meaning...somewhere, somebody just like me, someone who can't stop drinking...is turning up their glass and relenting to the same thirst........trying to quench it. Cheers!
How sweet it is....and my lips now know...it ain't gonna be a one time thang. I choose to drink to the joy that it will bring. Just putting the glass in my hand, and raising it to my mouth...excites me. Drips of gold slip out the side of my mouth. Another sip. Aaaaahh.
I am cooled instantly. It seems as if the journey from the glass, to my lips...is a bittersweet one. Like a runner finishing the last leg of a grueling race....body dreaming, screaming, and grabbing, for the finish line. Like the grace it takes to be a first place winner, in a contest you weren't sure to win. It's that first win. That first sip. You will never be the same again
Mmmmmmm.
It tastes soooo good.
( Like that first tastebud that becomes saturated with the wetness of your intended's love. OMG Like plunging into an ocean at midday...with the sun bathing your exit to the surface. Like being pulled....under water..........) Why do I feel like I'm flying...moving..around and around and around......around
Why...can't I start the car.....oooohh lol looking out the side window...
............where my cup...? What.....what youwant
Who got my drink?
The car...turning around....andaround ummmmmmm umm my stomach..I think I'm drunk............
