Felix sometimes drinks.

Felix has to be careful
when he drinks,
not to think too much
about all he is,
or has been.

Felix always drinks alone.

That way,
there’s no danger
to other people.

With a skilled flick of his wrist,
Felix can smash his wine bottle
against a wall,
and slash at ghosts
harmlessly.

Felix is always thoughtful that way—
thoughtful in so many ways.

Felix is enigma and light, oscillating between reason and contradiction! This one means a lot to me.

Fine work, Bobby.

Thanks Art,

I'm very pleased that this poem worked for you. Like all humans, Felix is very complex.

When I was young and drinking I wanted to pick up girls and fight...
When older and drinking I am friendly and socialable...
I rarely drink and my girlfriend doesn't drink at all...thats one of the things I love about her...James

Thanks Seoulair,

With all the abuse Felix has had to endure in his young life, he has never hurt anyone, no, not one single person.

As you say, he is a good young person.

James,

Isn't that the way it is though.

Felix is lucky that way. He already has his Sally.

Sad but true drinking can release too many demons for one as sensitive as Felix. May he battle them as he wilt. Thanks for sharing

Sharyn,

In truth, Felix isn't much of a drinker. Just a little bit every now and then.

Thanks for your kind comment.
