Drunk On A Park Bench
A Poem by Matthew Bass
I will sit here. Drink another beer smoke another cigarette, alone. And contemplate nothing. Meanwhile, Drunk Punk Mike stands on his corner with his white witch wife talking about 1977 when people were alive. Larribe the hippie drinks mint tea in the Jewish Quarter of Tangier talking about Katherine Hepburn and The Rolling Stones. The w***e in Singapore I got drunk with who admonished me for feeling so so sorry for myself still sits there with her teenage face talking of beautiful things. and I will become this bench punctured with splinter wounds, watch man descend into chaos hoping for the rise of woman with a Teak smile. Then decompose like stagnant driftwood.
