I feel trapped by my thoughts as I stare
lost in the amber liquid.

Swirling bubbles pop in my mind’s
eye, captivating my attention.

 I have found an escape, deep in the bottom of
a glass.

An avenue away from the devastation
that plagues my mind.

What has happened to the world?

Everywhere I look, the overwhelming
impact of man plays centre stage.

War. Death. Famine. Climate Devastation.

I drink deeply.

.

My mind ventures inward.

What more can I do?

What more should I do?

Hard questions for a soft man.

I order another drink.

.

I feel a surge inside me of heavy
angst.

The world is falling in a dangerous
direction.

Decency has been traded for greed.

I drink deeply.

.

I drink deeply.

.

I no longer remember my thoughts.

I order another drink and shut my
eyes.

Goodnight…
