is it or isn't it?

is it or isn’t it?

 

waiting for the mailman

while my pants dry in the

sun

i tremble

i’m weak

dry roasted peanuts

do not cure

my shakes

last night at aa

i read

one of their books

i read that people who have suffered

a series of losses

or are ill

are very unlikely

to succeed in the aa

program

this news

was the best excuse

to drink

i had ever heard

the book said failure was inevitable

because

the person’s soul

had been broken

this was the worst news

i had ever heard
