Sips

Art on the wall at Christie's in Georgetown, Kentucky

Sips
dripping into lips
intoxicating slips
elevating tips

Worst
for a girl with thirst
feeling quite accursed
a scene that's so rehearsed

Heels
elevate appeal
negotiating deals
tripping into feels

Real
can we make a deal
show me something real
that will make you squeal

PIG!
not something I dig
take another swig
of your Kleiner Fig

Quips
a tremble of the lips
suddenly eclipsed
by the orbit of the hips

    Very entertaining; you are the Poet Laureate of Rejection.

      Double-post: the "pro" argument isn't that compelling, but it's far more interesting and poetic: http://www.phillymag.com/news/2017/07/27/center-city-sips-defense/

    The author of this piece sounds like a killjoy. He objects to the fighting not because it's wrong, but because it's not entertaining. His East Coast elitism is annoyingly ubiquitous, too. Long live "Sips"!
