but it also means by ~altruisticlies:iconaltruisticlies:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


It's mundane,
the soda aisle
and my wandering, walking up
then down. I frown to distract.
Look intense.
And buy the soda you love
because you might, you
might be here to have it. Though
with I need a drink.
I don't need a drink.
The same strength, faux-weak
ness that I will always have,
and tell myself I learned from you.
I buy it, afraid I won't like the taste,
or maybe I will and it'll be there
for a few days squishing along inside me.
It's just fucking soda, but it also means
I still love you.

I write more than once a year, but it is all bad. It was RC Cola.

Agreed, but I don't really dig on the title. It seems almost too much for this.

This never happened. It will shock you how much it never happened.

What's a better one? I hate it too.

Fredo, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You understand?

as for the title maybe something with the word carbonated in it?

It's so very you, or at least what I remember of you.

Strange, simply because I was speaking of you exactly a week ago and wondering what had become of the bard.

That's a great poem. It captures a moment in time. I like the symbolism about drinking someone else's favorite soda to have a piece of them inside you.
