the band is loud
waves of sound that shatter
but make no sound
they take control
communication lost
please don't introduce yourself

acrid tinge of smoke
liquor obfuscates bad breath
love is in the air
a pungent reminder
of human decay

careless glances look my way
women that scan for attention
steeped in their own vanity
their men swaggering confidence
with staggering Idiocracy

I pity the roles
they have to play
while drinking their cares away
in search of conflicted pleasures
it's feeding time at the zoo

the band plays on...
"squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down leg"
overindulgence stumbles while it falls
how will I find sexual desire
gawking at rows of dirty toilets?

between sets I hear
ooooos and aaahhhs shouted at the flat screen
as one man beats another senseless
excited truths are exclaimed
"THAT'S gotta hurt!"

empty conversations to fill empty lives
as isolated as am I
there is no hiding
the deeper pain that is abiding

my shutters slowly close
I am so very tired
but comfort is no encumbrance
to pay any mind
what am I doing here?

I don't hate
I hate what they create
fear on tap with a liquor chaser
and sex handing out false promises

now the vacuum crackles
hoovering peanuts at the bar
it's time to retire
but where to go from here?
where is that love that follows?
the road home looks long
this crisp and chilly night.

nicely done. drinker

just the right amount put in
and the same for what was left out (which for me, is equally as important)
