THE CLINK OF CUPS
Who was first human to clink their
cup, chalice, mug with another -
to connect, to celebrate, to be in
communion with another - wine,
beer. mead, rum - the sip, the smile,
the salute, the toast, the cheer.
Who was the first human to know
this is one of the most basic human
signs, sacrament, that binds people
together. Christ did it at his Last
Supper. Couples do it at every
wedding - so too the funeral toast.
