Drunken note #1. By Mendes Biondo

a famous actress was stoned

by her fans because she said

she loved to get drunk with her man

during quarantine days

it's a moral issue

now people know their idols are made

in their image and likeness

not the kind of god you would be proud of

so they stoned her

and they got bullets in their guns for other celebrities

who are weak and human like them

I got drunk for the first of may

it's a national holiday here

we partied for workers and those who sweat for a living

I hardly ever worked 

mostly because it is difficult to find

a good human job

I partied

I got drunk

no regrets

just some rumbling in my stomach

I'm happy to be unknown

so I'm still free to get drunk

meantime I see stones flying over my head

probably a fan found his idol drinking

a beer while eating a sausage
