What Sigmund Has To Say

Twist and Pop, goes the wine

bringing a little social lubrication

to the party

And everyone unwinds themselves

over a glass or two

She is a compulsive liar

he warns me, before dinner

and over braised duck

the stories

unravel themselves

complimenting the wine

quite nicely

She adds into the mix

a salty lover

fabricates a summer in the

islands, I smell the

coconut in her hair

The texture

hangs on brackish air,

A capital performance!

I suggest switching

to a peppery, yet

balanced Pinot from the

Bays, consider

getting Foucault and Faustus

into bed to see what

Sigmund has to say
