4(-1)(+1)(-2) DRUNK MEN

A Frame in Time

bars, beer and billiards
temple walls and the boy who would be prime minister
the Sangharaja's residence
novices and zumba dancers
police versus a hysterical street vendor
dogs mating in temple grounds

That was Thursday after 

Monday's Bactidol capture in Manila
Tuesday's encounter with seeing hands
when beef was grilled with spears of rain
 
Khmer brews lined for the intramurals 
'twas the last day of positivity 


 Wednesday at Thyna BBQ 

grilled beef twice and peanuts
Srey Da's poetry in six words
Cambodia, Ganzberg, Angkor, Hanuman, Krud, ABC
the muse of beers disappear on karaoke night
negativity's triumph celebrated 
 

Back to Thursday

a festival of carabao and eel
buckets of cold canned Cambodian lager
the Lao conspiracy hatched
French wine, cheese and charcuterie board gone too soon
craft beer for the Craftsman

How to Become a Tyrant

choose between the beer, the food or the wife
find a box office bride in Dumaguete
create a narrative of negativity 
unfriend a new friend
break a vow a day after making one
