Bootleg Meaning

Prohibition:
An Act of Congress
in which
We
The People
articulate
that thou shalt pursue
the meanings that have been regularly brewed
and that thou shalt purchase
these meanings
at the company store
and only after a hard day's work.

Rejection:
An Act of Defiance
in which
We
The Persons
fill our bathtubs
with the raw materials
we found in the woods
and shouldst thou speak Easy
and scratch the door
next to the phone booth
underneath the counter
it mightst openeth
upon a warm room
bathed in quiet light
in which
bootleg meaning
will be served.
Further,
we shall drink
to excess.
