Beer Night



It was that--
happiness in a bottle--
   Beer.

As soon as
everybody sits down
and gets ready
to share

one, two bottles
shaking the day's stress off
switching to a more relaxed mode
laid-back music enters the background
(it doesn't matter if the music is real)

one, two bottles
turn into one, two cases
of colorful stories,
feelings once kept secret,
and personalities we struggle
to hide under the clothes we wear
or the pretense of sobriety
