Secret Languages Bottles Speak

watching others drown themselves
as it seems to be their second job

no life vest needed to keep them a float
just a bottle

nothing is relevant but energy
and that bottle

evil intentions
good deeds

scales
do they matter

not unless they are at the bottom
of a bottle

it gets old being a voyeur of such things
time wastes away along with their body

seeing it first hand
words don't matter

nothing does
except that bottle

the monster is born
with each gulp

inspecting
almost studying

everything I do not want to be
drowning everyday

choking on life
pathetically trying to explain the numbness

slurred mumbo jumbo
making no sense at all

no one understands them,
except that bottle
