“No, it’s not simple,” I said, “but I’ve done this before,”
I set the second glass down in front of her
“Beeblebrox himself, taught me the secrets.”
She lifted the glass high, “Bottoms Up.”

Good poem.

I love this title, and how it flows into the first line–I already have an image in my mind.

I read once somewhere that the effects of a pangalactic gargleblaster could cause this to happen. There were other things that might happen as well but I don’t remember them. Like you, this left an image in my mind. And, I watched a movie the other evening where John Cleese was dancing around in stilettos. That may have been a trigger. Thanks for the kind words.

Great how your title sets up what is to come. If only your story came with pictures. 🙂

a little liquid courage never hurt anyone.
Loved the title, loving my own stilettos.

But too much liquid courage can hurt. If you fall down.
