Poetry Drafts / 23 January 2020

As a child I liked chocolate milk

As a child I liked chocolate milk, hot and
White bread; dipping

I now mix the powdered chocolate
With vodka: to recreate the feeling

I fail with my endeavour
(I fail at most things…)
I blame bad parenting
Or the lack of --

French bread
