Other People's Secrets

Other people's secrets
contrived
with an insider's vibe
strikingly destabilized
getting wise
to the absurdities
of life
Ferociously nearby
locked in tightly
on consecutive nights
with bloody fistfights
bestowed
as a worldwide title
Imbibing
like a life-sized
wild drinker
in the bacchanals
of the 60's
with an occasional
martini
and an accented
flip
of the ambitious
as exotic
and unfamiliar
when and if
caught in the middle
with an interest
in an idealistic
uplift
from a quixotic
beginner
in intoxicants...
