No Drinks For Me Tonight

...and these words,

possessed by the nefarious spirits of fermented elixir,

fell from the sky like acid rain.

The last time words fell from the sky I was in my early twenties and it had been about an hour and a half after letting six little off-white squares dissolve on my tongue, but I am being literal which I believe you are not.

I like this in the the sense that it is pretentious in the best way possible and it is short enough to pack a punch and not be overdone.

Beautiful phonetically and thematically. Nice concept. Words like lighter fluid, shifting shape? You've inspired me.

"fell from the sky like acid rain" is a great analogy comparing the destructiveness of the two things. Powerful, and a great poem. I love the "..." of the beginning since it makes it seem like then end of a long tirade, putting the finality upon it. Great piece!
