Tried this for the first and last time last night.


Absinthe



Made from a different type of wormwood.
Legal after 90 years,
of killing people, driving them insane.

If you can even stomach the stuff.
We dared each other to take a shot.
Hit us both hard.
Tasted like licorice-flavored
cough syrup.

The sugar cube dissolved
into nothingness.
No sweetness to be found.
