An Experiment in Alcohol

I suppose I could feign effort in making you feel,

but then I would be lying to you,

and you to yourself,

as even you wonder what took so long.

I'm unconcerned with the way you treat me from now on,

simply because I gotsomething I wanted.

But not everything, as that would mean

giving up everything I've worked to gain.

We are alike, but you are more vocal, and distinguished,

and I put on airs of social inexperience and stupidity.

Perhaps one day we will give up these fronts,

but until then, I'll sit and marvel at

our predicament;

our secret;

our addiction.
