Better Left Unsaid
It’s important
To not use
Words like

Mezcal Thursday
He’s stopping by
The liquor store
On his way
Home from work,
It’s been
A hectic Thursday,
As he checks out
The tequila

Then he
Picks up
A bottle of
Montelobos Mezcal
And heads

In Doha
And he sees

About the
Campus protests,
Columbia feels
A long way
Away.
