Life : Units of Happiness

“I drink much less than most people think, and I think much more than most people would believe.”

― Hunter

” I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.”

― Winston

A drop of malt to anesthetize the day

A drop of malt to hush the voice that rings out between my ears

A solo performance

No chorus one understands

No choir of disarray

How many units of happiness are too many?

The dry can never answer this

Equation of inherent flaws

No clear numerical fact

X a life well lived , Y the mortal cost

The mathematics of another circuit round the star

I paid my money, now I take my chances

And a drop more malt to anesthetize the day.
