Imperfection

Well, I took a drink - three days ago. I had received some disappointing professional news that day. An opportunity I had counted on was not going to happen. Once home I opened up a beer to accompany dinner preparations. Sure it was like calling an old friend I hadn't spoken to in a while. I drank it all but did not open a second one,nor have I opened another one since. It reminds me of a line from a Roches song: "Good men want a virgin,/So don't you give yourself too soon,/'Cept in an emergency like/Underneath the moon." So I'm on the wagon - except in emergencies.
