Drink Up

Drink up

By Karyn Indursky

 

 

Holding a shot glass in one hand 
with a cigarette in the other, the man cared not 
what he was doing to himself or his child. 
Stimulation 
was all that mattered to him. 
As long as he had that buzz, 
he could go on... 
tackle anything... 
be anybody. 
What he missed was his inner yearnings wanting 
to break free to experience life to its fullest. 
These yearnings could get him where he wanted to go 
and help heal his soul. 
While lost in himself, he was losing his child. 
He never did get anywhere, though, because all he 
did was drink up.
