Why I Write, Part x+257: It's A Helluva Drug (Remixing Alcohol & Caffeine)

Since time immemorial, man has bottled vacations
From both sluggish intellect and from the over-meditation,
But no real journey is taken. It's no travel. It's medication.
“Going out,” is no sightseeing. It's where the masses take libation.
When their heads don't seem to work right, they fix them with drink:
One kind for stopping, one for starting to think.
I don't spill two libations. I have one bottle, full of ink.
It's hell for my cleaners, but there's no puking in sinks.
