Like black coffee, razor-burned alternatives and autumn to spring

Freedom in a travel sized package is his drink of choice

A smooth swallow, methodically measured and specifically labeled

He reads the descriptions ascribed at the museum showcases

And knots himself around what is picked out for him

A pact to adopt the voices of strangers

His catholicism, his double-edged sword of a translator

He will call the sky blue and leave it at that

Without so much as tilting his chin
