I wrote this silly poem in April of 2024.

ancestor, ancestor-
which alcohol goes best with making shitty life decisions
ancestors says, not the PBR, not the michelob ultra light, it’s too basic of an energy
for the kind of epic shitty life decisions you tend to make
don’t reach for the margarita wine either, too obvious, too much of a cliche
and you already have plenty of them in your poetry
Go for the Guiness six pack
make your shitty life decisions with some English class
since most of your terrible decisions tend to include some asshole
whose ancestors are colonizer Englishmen

Ha ha. That cracked me up and took me by surprise – the Guiness six pack solution. I opt for whisky to take me out of my mind for a short while. And come to think of it, I don’t think the Irish have much of a colonizing history, a good enough reason to visit there and frequent its clubs and bars and meet some good natured people.
