4 AM @ JOHNNY'S ( 4 ADRIAN)

4am @ Johnny's

And they would talk

til'

4am @ Johnny's

talk bout' things

that she would never

let seep through

like water out of

spaghetti

And she the one w/ a

fine tuned ear would

not only listen, but hear

til'

1 day she (the talker) met a man

lookin' like he was a doped up

lead singer in

a heavy metal rock band

And now

4am @ Johnny's is

closed.

I loved "she would never let seep like water out of spaghetti". through out your poem I couldn't help but wonder who Johnny is. Also I thought there were to many distractions taking away from you poem. I think that to keep the audience's attention you should get ride of some of the numbers and replace them with the word. But otherwise I liked the poem.
