The Wine Is Enough (For Now) written 11/24/1975 by Ron Porter ©2015

And, I placed the bottle of wine
on the counter and the dude behind it
asked Is that all you want?
and I thought

Wow it sure would be

nice to get back into school

cos, shit i really want to go into social work

not to save the world

but help maybe just one person

and save some money

and , hell it sure would be nice

to own a Cadillac and

have my poetry published or, most of all

I want a little piece of mind. But, I

also want to be loved and, have a friend

I want to appear on The Tonight Show

someday cause Johnny Carson is pretty cool

So, I answered Uh huh and nodded, and
paid the bill.
Then i walked back to the car.
