Nora Armani: CALIFORNIA 2009

The waitress is under age
Says she can’t serve me
wine herself.
I ask if she has sex
She smiles, through a blush
and says yes!

Impaired judgments
That destroyed nations
Or sometimes built them
Could be blamed equally on sex
Not as often on wine!

A world gone awry about
Not serving wine till you’re 21!
But killing, at any age, seems fine.
