She’s always been a blended drink.
Al’s favorite slammer,
and Moe’s favorite heat–
you’ll find her more Margarita than Mary,
a melting pousse, pousse, pousse that’s
–part ta kill ya
–part splashy sex
–part sour-n-sweet-n-
salty rims
all the same
she’s one girlie cocktail
known to separate out
after sitting
(un)becoming hard to swallow
wry—bitters—and cherry
her·mouth should be sweet!
and is altogether better when you
mix her
(old-fashioned as she is)
as she muddles fairly easily,
inclining her to throw rocks, instead of chew them
without sin, you know
break straws she ought grasp
f*ck that Joe Camel
eschew chimneys for buckets
listing or seated
all the while
Looking through her
bottomless
Glass.
