sams wonder bar Poetry

real life
fights
with
flights
of fancy

i save
a moon
i gave
a mood

swoon
across
the room,
dancing -
and the
bestest
dancer
tonight
was a
lady
in
her
60s
maybe
out there
cutting a rug
or whatever the
term in her era was.

heh. and there was a joke
for this already, but tonight,
at Sam's Wonder Bar, it was
even funnier, i guess. a woman
had spotted my pittsburgh penguins
hoodie and while i stood on a chair
trying to get a shot of the crowd, she
came up and said she loved hockey
and it was good to find another person
who watched and liked the penguins.
i tried to tell her i didn't watch hockey,
but she danced away and i went back
to taking pictures.
