Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri
Afternoon Tipsy
My observations are poured
into a very large champagne glass
along with what I read
The words bubble around the
pictures
until an opinion bursts at
the edge of the glassThe only problem
is that I get drunk with knowledge
in the form of observations and wordsMeanings garble unnecessarily
Pregnant pauses for refreshmentBut to drink in excess leads one
eventually to unconsciousness
Pregnant pauses pass out.
