a brief intoxication

a conversation

a brief intoxication

a momentary lapse of reason

an exchange of thoughts

of heart

i felt giddy for a while

i felt myself smile

after a long while

a brief intoxication

now sobriety

comes back in waves

carrying with it responsibility

good sense, slaves

me, you, to good sense

they come back along

i revert to where i belong

my intoxication, however brief,

is gone.
