ignition
the problem with alcohol
is that it’s flammable
you could set the whole town ablaze
if you started at the liquor store
you can set my whole
train of thought off the rails
flipped and on fire
after a few drinks
and when i drink i fall
prey to a different type of
burn than the one
in my throat
and it’s mean
a nasty little
whisper of a flame
on a petty match
the kind of burn
that destroys what
made it as it swallows
whatever is in its path
the problem with alcohol
is that it’s flammable
and it won’t cause an explosion
unless ignited
and the problem is that
i am the ignition
