Keeping it simple and honest

Whiskey is a friend
In a room with cold floors, bare walls
And compelling reasons to leave.

It keeps strange company.
The ice it mingles with tinkles against the glass,
Crying out like a child with a loose bladder .

And I listen.
And I drink.
It leaves me with nothing.
Just the small understanding
That a word of truth saves a page of bullshit.
