What madness
Fills this cup?
What sadness
Fills it up?
Was its fruit
Plucked by hand?
Or picked up softly,
From the land?
Crushed it,
Must;
(Pressed,
We trust.)
Seeds,
Skins,
Solids,
Juice.
’fined,
Filtered
Racked
& aged.
Bottled,
Barreled?
(Corked,
Or screwed?)
What madness
Fills this cup?
What sadness
Fills it up?
Sip, my dear one,
Sip softly, now;
Taste today,
Talk tomorrow.
