"Alcohol makes
writing
so easy!" I
drunkenly
slurred over
the crackling
telephone line
soon after
finishing my
third new poem
in just two
hours, following
a seemingly
endless four
week drought.
"If that were
true, I would have
written War and
Peace over a
thousand times!"
Ben immediately
responded.
Quickly draining
one of more
than a dozen cold
beers.
Eager to finally
get it right.
