Napoleon and Me

Folder: 
Drunken Thoughts

I turn my mind inside out,

Switch off the fear and the pain.

Become a new person,

King of a new domain.



Turn the sky from blue to pink,

Change the sea from green.

Purple boats on an aqua- plain

Orange, possibly tangerine.



They bob, they turn, and they spin,

Drift with the tide, just float.

Insignificant actions,

Purposeless, nothing to note.



Just me and Napoleon,

70cl circa 2001.

Ice, a pint glass,

And a big bottle of coke.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

In my youth glass bottles of ice cold coke,from the big red dispenser.Cold in your hand , burned your throat on the way down.
It doesn't quite taste the same these days. That's why I add Brandy.
