don’t we dole out love
like it’s liquor
in a locked cabinet?
give strangers a shot glass
of something cheap
if anything at all?
while those
in our inner circle
get treated to the
open bar 24/7
we must be careful though
if the drinks are too strong
even friends and family
won’t handle the bite the burn
and made too weak and
watery they may go
somewhere else to
share their caring
point being it’s a skill
knowing how to make
a cocktail
with just the right amount
of affection
