ANTIPODES by CLYDE G. SPEAR

First Line: HATE DROPPING FROM A SMALL-NECKED VIAL BLACK
Last Line: SO DRUNK WE CANNOT THINK.
Subject(s): HATE; LOVE;

Hate dropping from a small-necked vial black
Puts poison on our food.
It is a devil, breeding devil-breed
That never does us good.

Love flows like wine from out a flagon red
Engulfing all who drink.
It is a magic brew that makes us dead,
So drunk we cannot think.
