MIXTURE

I took my heart out
and put it in a paper cup.
I topped it off with crushed
ice and vodka and orange juice.
I stirred up all the feelings
with a thin plastic straw.
I raised it up to my lips
and drank it all down.
Funny, the taste of past
memories of you didn't burn
my throat, but it sure has left me 
with a nasty hangover.
