Who are these people? Does anybody know?
They're everywhere in literature, music,
Theater, politics, and philosophy. They even turn
Up among scientists, now and again. No,
I don't want to know what alcoholism is,
How alcoholics behave. We all read,
Even those of us raised among teetotalers.
Alcoholics are a seedbed of stereotypes.
But who are the alcoholics? What
Does it mean, do they mean, that they should,
Like angels, stumble among us, mumbling
Diabolical messages from forever dry gods?
