train of thought

it started with a train of thought

inspired by the overheard twitterings

of two drunks in the park

who in a rare moment of calm

when finishing their special brew

and starting on white lightening cider

declared that they preferred t

to see in the new year sober

on the premise that

for the rest of the year

they where drunk

whilst the world was sober

and not wanting to conform

to the hedonistic practices

of one night in the year

they preferred to do their own thing

because even though

they were drunks they still

had freedom of thought

possibly even more so than

you or i ever will…
