I purchased a bottle of Bacardi
today and drank it down with Coke Zero.
I had, with myself, a little party,
a party of one where I'm the hero
who loves the flavor of Coke Zero and
Bacardi and kills the bottle one shot
at a time. I'm the hero who can stand
the turpentine flavor of what I bought,
and I let the taste swish around my tongue
making mixed drinks with soda pop and rum
aged until it's brown and flows out the bung
of an ancient cask or hickory drum
I drink alone so I don't have to share,
I down the whole bottle until it's air.
