Late night at the bar.
I walked out of the bathroom
and there were bodies
all over the floor
moaning and
bleeding.
Smashed bottles lay everywhere.
Every table was overturned.
Somebody was trying to crawl
off the pool table and
the bartender was crying.
A man on the floor
on his stomach
was trying to reach out for me
holding his jaw.
There was a pool cue
sticking out of his back.
As I leaned down to
yank it out
I said to him,
“Well,
that’s one piss
that I’m glad I’ve taken.”
