In a bar named for Bukowski
With kisses on cheeks for all
Excepting me of course
Anonymous as an empty wall
A beat down wanderer
Forgotten in eternal places
With candle wax on wine bottles
Espresso in martini glasses
Mirrors reflect arty photos
Of curvy/bushy Italians nudes
Next to the usual movie posters
Audrey exquisite as she broods
Haven’t heard a bluebird call
Over constant squelching siren
Distant choir interludes and
Swiss guards ordering me to run
Skipped the Sistine Chapel
And internient related dogma
Head instead to a tiny post office
Send a postcard of my mind
Pet the stray cats begging
By a red checkered table
Where i alternate small cigars
And large glassses
Of cheap red wine
