Hold My Beer

 
🍺
 
I didn't know how to gracefully release
an emotional undercurrent
in a manner that was clear  
and concise  
without becoming the monster I hate  
 
Until the Poem said, Pssst. . .
Hold my beer.

Author's Note
“Societies never know it, but the war of an artist with his society is a lover’s war, and he does, at his best, what lovers do, which is to reveal the beloved to himself and, with that revelation, to make freedom real.”

~ James Baldwin, 1962
