people wait
for a time where
they can lose control
waiting for liquids
to seep into the bloodstream
in order to loosen lips.
they drown
get lost in a maze of jellyfish
then forget about the floating mushrooms.
tentacles slowly wrap themselves around the conversation
easing out each word
building a trap for drunkards.
no matter what is said
all is forgotten minutes later
another conversation files the minds
obscures the view
and when thoughts of last night are recalled
nothing is left but a blur
and the hope that secrets were not revealed.
but they are out
a thief in the night
running loose in some one's thoughts.
