The times I’ve most wished to forget
are the times that have 
changed me most.

Thought after thought,
needle skipping.
Sitting in it with my
wine in an octopus mug.

Always drink your wine
from a novelty mug.
Especially when wiped,
Lost, alone, and 
sitting in it.

The mug, both yours and here, 
reminds you you can make 
the smallest of decisions 
all from your couch
on your own.

Octopuses have suckers.
This one, a porcelain handle.
Either&#39;s handy to hold on to.
What strength to admire?
All from your own mug.
