figment

February 2025

Haunting at my side 

I’ve always loved quality time

A paper doll stemming, hip to hip

Mimicking my routine

Imagine

A raw disclosure

Contrary to our cagey conversations

I’d concede

Accept my angst

Obtain an occasion of ordinary

Above alienating exchanges

I’ve tired

Fiddling with fate

In your stead

A fabricated figment

Come! Follow me!

i’ll take it on the rocks
stonehenge
a toast to you
slainte
come get a taste
no lipsmackers mountain dew
kisses of jameson will do
i’ve never craved another
have you?

can i take your order don julio?
papaya, lime, and tajin
a perfect trio
with the jarabe tapatío
squeeze and squint
if i want to pucker my lips
and swing my hips
sour mix will do

can i take your order captain morgan?
aye aye captain
one juice, two juice, three juice, four
berry brandy, run brandy! run!
dance a dancehall dance you say?
not so refreshing for me
but some mint and ginger
and i feel free

can i take your order johnnie walker?
you brought rob roy too?
both bitter and sweet
but i don’t like the two
so close to home
the bagpipes and ceilidh
i like mine
mine feel just right

a barmaid is that
at your service indeed
but a maid has preferences
don’t you see
don julio, captain morgan, johnnie walker alike
insist as you might
none can fight
my jameson oh my jameson
for my family a toast
sliante mhaith
good health to you i boast
