This morning in the shower, for no apparent reason,
she began to think about beer and Toni Morrison.
Her thoughts gained momentum, followed her into
the kitchen and ended up swirling in her coffee cup.
An ugly, but profound revelation inched closer and
closer to inner eyes that she could not turn away
or shield. Somewhere in the darkness a match was
struck and truth's clarifying flame shone through.
She realized that she had become his third beer.
Not the first. So anticipated, craved, needed and
satisfying. The one that brings you home early.
Not the second. That the last drop of the first
convinced you that you wanted by whispering,
"It's all good, it's all good."
But, the third beer. The just because beer. The
just for the Hell of it beer. The nothing better to
do, say or prove beer. The beer you don't really
want but it's within easy reach and the DVD still
has twenty minutes to go. That beer. That beer.
The what's the difference beer. The "I paid for it
so it's mine" beer. The selfish "I don't want anyone
else to have it" beer.
The nothing better to do, say or prove beer.
The beer you know will only add inches to your
waistline and make you burp, but is still good for
a quick buzz. That beer. That beer.
She had become his third beer. His nearly
invisible Hagar. His third beer. His not even
thirsty anymore beer. That beer. That beer.
This morning in the shower, for no apparent
reason, she began to think about beer and
Toni Morrison.
