Evening Poem #86

The reason we do all the things
the mamas told us not to do
comes down to just trying
to make the things we have
to do a little easier. Running
a yellow, say. It gets us there
faster. Drinking right
from the jug, we don't
have to wash a glass.
Drinking right from
the bottle, we get there
a little faster. Drinking
from the bottle, we don't
have to remember the past.
