POUR

Santa Cruz.

The Pacific Garden Mall.

We duck inside

Out of a sudden 
Downpour.

A wall worth

Of spigots 
Greet us.

Tap after tap

Ater tap.

Pay by the ounce.
All you can drink.

Belgians. Sours. Stouts.

Saisons. Ciders. IPAs.

So many choices.

We work our way

Down the line.

The beer just flows.

Why not live like this.

Where each and every moment

Is a new draught to try.

To savor.

If we don’t like one

Then we try another.

And all the while…

Getting tipsy

On the taste.

On life.

One pour

At a time.
