I Drink to Decide

Katie Frances Hartless
, ,

Think about the year ahead:

with patience the horse can be trained,

but will it allow itself to be lead? 

The glass once red, opaque.

I drink to decide, allow more slack,

but the smile reflected in the glass looks fake.

I don’t have the reigns.

Where we head at rampant gait,

I misread, so I grip the barrel filled with dread.

      It seems so, I’m sad to say, John. Like everything we believed and dreamed and strived for won’t be there for our children and our children’s children
      to enjoy.

    “Show me the way to go home. I’m tired and I wanna go to bed. I had a little drink about an hour ago and it went straight to my head.”🍷 (Tie on another barrel)🍾🛢️🪢

    I think we can all do with a few glasses of wine. This isn’t the best start to the year.

      Indeed. 2026, a reason to ‘overhaul’ the liquor cabinet.
