scotch

Johnny Walker Puce

She was trying to drink scotch in every bar in town
because she thought she was pregnant
and in the old buildings
built by scotch babys
i watched her transition from
glee
to horror
as she realized
she was drinking scotch in every bar in town
because she thought she was pregnant.
And some horrible irony
made us both cry
as we ate spaghetti.
And something told us
it could have
it should have
been us singing that duet
on the jute box.
