The unlearning of a process
Leads to the impossible event
Of habits trailed
Past waysides and byways
Of overpasses and undercurrents
Beached and trodden over
A stream trickled down a brook
Over rock ledge and jagged
Cut and bubbled
Brooded over and boiled
Stirred and shaken
Sitting into a martini
Glass
Distilled
Chilled
Like a nice clean olive
Sitting on the brim of the cocktail glass
Classically tailored to your liking and charmed
Defenses disarmed.
