Hand-Me-Down Demons

One drink 
won't become
two
three
four
like it did for you
so many times. 

It will just be one
and that will be enough
for me to say 
my ABCs backwards,
walk the line
and be the person
you couldn't be
after an evening
(or an afternoon)
out. 

It will be just one
because 
I know when to say when.

Then I notice
I am half a bottle
down
and wonder
if maybe
I'm more like you
than I know?
