Drunken Joy Drinkers

 Can joy come oozing out of someone
like liquor from a broken tap at a favorite pub

Someone will see it
and take it
right beneath the owner's blind gaze

No visor to protect one's eyes
from the will of someone
who must drink from your pores
to get drunk

They are a magnet
drawn to those who create fusion
from within themselves
to live a life of fire

And they are the ones
who can ooze no joy
unless they blow out
someone's flame
