she wants to change her name

i'm thinking about changing my

name,

my friend

Susie tells me

as we sit by the pool

drinking

pina coladas.

her politics are a little left

of Mao Tse Tung.

oh yeah, really?

to what?

i'm thinking something like,

Peace,

or Hope,

Empathy. something like that,

something

that represents

what i stand for, who i am.

how about, Drunk,

i tell her,

filling up her glass again.
