he was a kind of dreamy drunk

who
had been
trying to get
his act together for years.

first,
he gave up weed,

then
the pills,
which were
never really a problem,

and
then he
stopped drinking Jack
and did nothing but red wine.

but,
that got to be
too much trouble
when he saw himself
turning into a bit of a snob,
especially around people who didn’t drink.

so,
he went
back to the Jack,
mostly because it was easier

and faster

and
he never
did like people
who didn’t drink, anyway.
