The drunk
to an unknown poet
drank my third beer in a bar when he approached
Malemort shuffling
- you give me some change sir? -
- what are friends for? -
- well, I assure you not to buy a gallon of milk -
- well, and tell me what do you do in your life? -
- drink what you sir? -
- I ... ... I am a poet -
- ah, not quite sure, I am sure of being drunk -
- agree and what does a drunk when sober to make this perverse and absurd world a better place ? -
- look sir, I do not really know the difference between being sober or drunk, but something I'm sure, the sober destroyed the world -
- is right my friend, the poet is you, take this ticket, but on one condition , not going to spend on milk -.

Poetry is an oasis in the desert. The poem is thirst.
SOBER NOTE:
Drunk.
In many rural areas of Spain, is still customary to serve wine in bottles or leather boots, used since ancient times for this purpose. In the XIV century Catalan and Castilian XV century, these skins are called drunken, word that according Corominas, have been formed by the junction of the Catalan voices bottle (goatskin) and morratxa (vial). In turn, the latter derived from the Arabic word Meerza, which also meant 'vial'. Later, he called in English drunk the subject that, like the boot, was "full of wine ', or intoxicated.
