PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

So I went out

for a beer or two

and figured I could

slip into the bathroom

to do bong hits

with my little coca cola water pipe

that I bought

at a head shop in San Francisco

I can flirt with

the cute bartendress

she’s so fine

with those long endless legs

that run all the way up

to the glean in my eyes

glazed over from the bong hits

snuck in the bathroom

and I have to sample

these different beers

Ale is truly the nectar

of the Gods

at least the gods

that I worship

after all, as the Hindus say,

you gotta enjoy life

you only live 6,000 times

I think I am on

#2,384

or is it 2,384?

One or the other

but anyway

to get back to my story

you gotta try

all these different ales

at different ale houses

Did I mention

sneaking bong hits

in the bathroom

with my little coca cola bong

I got at a headshop

in San Francisco?

And flirt with the bartendress

I’m getting redundant

I’m repeating myself

We’re beyond the different ales

in different alehouses

and we’re dancing

on the graves

of our forebearers

and all they do is bitch

about their problems

and the ills of the world

“Fuck it all!”

but keep trying

to fit into the mix

if that’ll make you

feel any better

about all this shit

I can’t help you

with any profound secrets

of the universe

even if I knew

I’m too much a whore

to tell you anyway
