the true meaning of life

someone spilled the wine

and it created a red river on the floor

that i may or may not clean up

if i was a dog i would lap it up with my tongue

if i was a cat i would avoid it with my nose in the air

if i was my mother i would be quick with the mop

but i’m me and me is gonna do nothing

because wine should be free to go where it wants

on the floor, in a glass, down a throat, in a recipe

under a table where it can puddle, drip, pool

or go on a search for the true meaning of life

i believe in the wine
