Well, after the tornado passed (15-20min.)
I took a soul searching walk, jammin' 7/12/89 Robert F. Kennedy Stadium ... Rain hitting me hard. Tears streaming so the rain worked out LoL.
I aimlessly ended up at the counter of the liquor store across the street w\a 750ml bottle of berriangers white zin (which BTW the snob in me doesn't even consider real wine) Paid for it bought a corkscrew & went on my way.
Knowing mom wouldn't go for that; I went to one of my old haunts; the 15th green of the "party" course. After much fighting w\ the corkscrew; been 15+ yrs I've even opened wine, opened the "wannabe" wine.
Sat there a few minutes staring at it then started pouring it out "speaking" to my friend. Until the bottle was empty. Cried a little more, walked to the trash can threw out the bottle & corkscrew.
I knew at the counter I was safe cause I'd never drink that swile haha But she loved it ..

Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum
Dodging lions and wastin' time
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle
I can hardly stand to see 'em
Well, it sure has been a long hard ride
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday, life will be sweet like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece
My name is August West, and I love my Pearly Baker best more than my wine.
More than my wine - more than my maker, though he's no friend of mine.
