one beer and we all get cocky
a glass of wine and it’s
two rungs up the social ladder
alcohol is cheap confidence
a discounted dash of courage
bargain basement bluster
200 cents of temporary
ascendance in the world
and what’s wrong with being
Cinderella for a night?
loopy creations on the dance floor
falling out your glass slippers
some not-so-subtle slurs
to hold the eyes of onlookers
who can’t take them off you
till the lights wink off and
you’re seen leaving
down that dark alley
that hopefully leads home
