fizz

there are souls
who have
demeanors
not unlike
a clear cool
glass of water.
unrippled
and still
almost always
calm
and reasonable,
but she was
a gin fizz
shaken, bubbly
to the point
of bursting.
the bubbles
rising over
the edge
with a furious
crackle
and pop. which
was fun for
awhile,
but a very
short while.
