Sam Adams

 

Where are the ones to spray the flame?

With a stream of fluid

From a plastic bottle held in the hand.

Close enough to the now crazed blaze

To singe the unprotected skin.

But, not backing away or flinching,

Instead, with a flourish of the hand,

And expressionless élan,

Take the fuel from the fire,

And then fan the flames with breath.
