A Real Coldy
an homage to the combination of hops, malt, yeast and water in a beverage
the coldest beer
i ever drank
came out of
an ice encrusted tap
in the lounge bar
at the Pineapple Hotel
in East Brisbane
a blistering cold
pint of Stella Artois
it chilled my throat
nearly froze my neck
made my day
i wasn't driving
so i had another
it was no better
than the first
that bridge had been crossed
that particular cherry popped
this was a follow up
never as good as the first
but not going to make me
relinquish the chase
won’t make me forget
to relish the taste
the promise
her cold and golden
moist promise
handed to me
across a varnished bar
made of locally felled redgum
in return for the coins
out of my pocket
