He Puts Pen To Paper

Resolved: That the consumption of alcohol by minors leads to inappropriate actions.

Contingent 1:

Last night.

I went over to his place, where the drinks were already made.

He was waiting for me.

I believe vodka has an adverse taste.

Contingent 2:

We took a shot of what could have been nail polish remover-

I hear they're practically the same-

and chased it with more of the same.

Production was sidelined for video games.

Contingent 3:

After orange juice and pink lemonade,

I certainly was open to anything.

Meaning, I believe I professed my love to him.

But! there are things to be said to the contrary.

1:

The drinks, though bad,

gave openness to our conversation.

2:

For a holiday, what could be more productive,

more American, than to drink and play?

3:

At least now he knows I love him,

and that is certainly something.

And although I drink to get drunk.

And although I hate the taste.

And although they had more fun,

in the spray of a sprinkler chase.

There is something worthwhile in being close.

There is something of note to note.

That although we make some mistakes,

acknowledging our loves was not one last night.
