IN CONVERSATION

we had
the greatest conversation ever

wild
but we did
not bang our
heads together

or slurred speech slide
one senseless mass
down onto the
frontroom floor

our intellects
alcohol stimulated
but then obliterated

and all
that wisdom
left to escape

be spoken elsewhere
or perhaps
never again for
better or
for worse

or
utter calamity
of the human race
