Times are troubled.
I say
To myself
as I down
another bottle
of Perrier.
My grief and
depression
and personal failures
slide on down
with the tickling
fizzy fun
of the over-priced water
in the green bottle.
Tomorrow
I'll be abusing
Airborne
(which tastes like
the poor man's pop
except it's kind of expensive)
and getting all the healthier
for it.

You're going to be a very disappointed man.
