Sip

Once you find it,
Then rewind it
Towards the beginning,
Of feckless winning.

When you wallow,
Suck and swallow,
Cough and hack.
Get off track.

Go on, revisit.
Not better, is it?
Better seems
From endless dreams.

Dreams aren’t real.
For your next meal,
Make peace with choices.
Hush those voices

That change the scene
From orange to tangerine.
In matter of degrees,

Give a squeeze.
The juice, though sweet,
Brings an uneasy,
Prickly treat.

But cures your thirst?
Squelch the outburst
Of drama nothing.
Now relax and sip.

Let the faucet drip.
