Barman & Sylvie
Saw you jotting in that notebook, Sylvie. Ever thought of mixing a drink like you craft a stanza—each ingredient a word, the finish a rhyme?
Maybe I would, if I could turn the kitchen into a verse. I’d pick a bitters for the bitter truth, a splash of citrus for a surprise line, a dash of honey to soften the edge, stir it slow like a poem, then finish with a little lime to rhyme with the last word. It would taste like a stanza on a tongue.
