The shot went down
smoothly
with a slight burn
but a Mexican pilsner
chased the whiskey
voices at
the other end
of the bar
rattling on
about physical wide receivers
the sounds of balls
on a pool table
reacquainting themselves
with each other
a poem written or not
my ears perk up
at talks of the Flyers
but I only think of Rob Zombie
and the Broad Street Bullies
We’re still waiting
for that film
but I still hear voices
someone is complaining
about not getting paid
the radio is playing indie music
and I’m glaring at a green bottle
and an empty shot glass
The Sound of Silence on radio
being sung in Spanish
and now a middle age couple
is engaged in a verbal feud
the setting sun
is casting its final rays
thru an open door
begins to blind me
a poem in waiting
to be sure
