Notes Of A Lonely Young Man

I write this

From atop of a bar stool

Drinking

Drinking a mixed drink

Cigarette still burning in the

Ashtray

I take a hit

Continue drinking

It makes me balk how

Inspiration

Can come from the most

Subtle places

Like a bar

In a casino

In front of a...

I take another hit

A mechanical poker machine

Don't get me wrong

you can play many different types

Of poker

Double Double Bonus Poker

That's funny to me

I take a drink

As I realize now

this piece is being written in

Real time

When will it end?

The screen on the machine is changing

right before my eyes

Ultimate Poker

And then there's

Black Jack...

My favorite

I take a hit

Blow smoke

The cigarette is down and out

Joker Poker

That's a rhyme induced into this poem only through

The screen

The ever changing screen

I need to stop this

It's became simple rambling

I take another drink...

Maybe I'll black out
