Firmly Held

Had to be cryptic about impossible relations.

"Only a schmuck falls for a bartender." Check.

And I've subscribed to this. Principle. Check.

There is no going back and no regrets. Amen.

Just stopped into convenience store for pop.

Had a competitor's styrofoam cup refilled.

Squaring up, the clerk asks: "Refill?" Tacit?

Pointed to logo; that's called logic, son.

Simply cannot get involved a futile struggle.
Will pray for all involved and hope for best.
I do know much better and look to reason...
nothing I can do to force the issue. Absurdity!
