Happy new year
by Jim Benz"Hey Jim - happy new year!"
"Well, happy new year to you too!"
"Say, have you had any interesting conversations lately?"
"Um, no. Interesting conversations seem to be passé."
"Hmmm. Too bad. We might as well get drunk."
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Can I mix you a Martini?"
"No, just give me a bud lite."
"Get out of my house." 01/07/2011 Author's Note: for the record: I have nothing against people who drink Bud Light. I am interested in how a poem's internal logic turns against itself though. Which is liquor enough for me. [almost]
