Back to my other poetry

Back to Take Me to Nirvana

The Bottles

The bottles stacked so nicely on the shelf
But one too many and then they fall
Crashing to the ground

The bottles all shatter at exactly the same time
Pouring out the harsh contents onto the ground

Hurridly they are put back up on the shelf
Before they are completely drained

But it's too late, the result is completed too far to be delayed
The poisonous, vile liquid has infected everything it meets
