As I recall ~
It was
insignificant ... really
Barely an inch ...
inch and a half long at best
Lying there
at the bottom of the bottle
And I remember ~
Staring at it
between pours
as it rolled and swayed
The liquid's movement
appeared to
restore it to life
I laughed ~
at the illusion
that it moved
Even after the contents
of the bottle had settled
Knowing the impossibilities
Marveling at the manifestations
of intoxication
