Hindsight Binoculars

He went to rehab, to thirst for nothing, to indulge years of sobriety. It took
a glimpse, a tiny swig, to float through twilight. The soul watched, to
partake of debauchery, flailed inside. He wrote with message, a bit tangy,
to sting a cobra. He pulled back, for three months dry, romanticizing life.
