for drinks, last chance to find,
each one thinks, whatever it was
he was looking for. But by now
it's successfully forgotten, blurred
by beer like a love letter urinated
on. By now you're shot, and they're
about to eject you like a spent
cartridge.
Go home-a
brutal sen–
tence. Go home-taking, perhaps,
the morning paper, a record of
yesterday's obscenities, to bed with
you.
If
you had a bed-mate, be–
tween you you might bracket a lit–
tle peace. More likely, you'd only
double your loneliness. Either way,
double or nothing, the toss is a
loss because the coin's counterfeit,
so forget it. Go home. Sleep, and
let up your dreams like balloons to
be burst by the morning sun.
