Sometimes when I get a random surge of creativity, I write short impressionist poems/stories. Here’s the third one:
Drunk
Can you be drunk on inspiration? Drunk on ideas, fresh vibes and elation? Drunk like a child on first snow day.
Can you be drunk on caring? Drunk on love, desire and sharing? Drunk like a boy after first kiss.
Can you be drunk on ambition? Drunk on power, success and recognition? Drunk like a man after first sale.
Can you be drunk on grief? Drunk on loss, madness and unbelief? Drunk like a husband who’s wife died first.
You can be drunk from life or a jar, so should we ever be driving a car?
P.S.: Remember that you can also buy my Impressions ebook with more such poems and thoughts HERE.
Buy me coffee and support my blog
Everyone knows engineers and bloggers are fuelled by coffee. Since I’m both, I need double the amount! Also, I don’t use ads, so I’m super grateful for your support. Thank you!
Yes, I think you can be drunk on more than just liquor and there are times you shouldn’t drive.
Absolutely! I think people take driving too lightly, there’s an enormous responsibility to getting behind a wheel.
Yeah, I agree. Getting hit in your little car by a truck makes you aware of the awesome forces involved.
Honestly, ever since I know how cars are designed and manufactured, I’ve become fairly fatalistic. Goes double for airplanes too, the procedure of airplane maintenence is enough to make anyone afraid of flying. 🤣 ‘Most failures occur because a part was incorrectly preventively replaced.’
Wow. And you would know.
I trust in the science behind it, but the human factor is what usually causes problems. 🤷♀️
They usually are.
Well said!
