even a shot & a beer
can be a most toxic brew
when consumed through the script
of the one and only
answering to the infidelities
(yes, we all live with)
an eye for an eye
(keeps the void well hidden)
beneath our breastbones
an entryway
of stereotypes
answerable only
to the water-board
each wagging tongue
dipped in fire
will claim victory
