where beer is sold
and the joint isn't kidding you
is a rare thing.
We have a place where they sell beer to men
who want beer
and to women who love men
who want beer.
The ones who like sports
and all that
watch them
and drink their beer.
The back is dirty and open,
to the sky
where you can smoke.
the last free plot of land in Los Angeles.
The pool players play pool and drink their beer.
Old men ,
who know the bar as a friend,
their wives
sit and smile and drink
while they rattle on, and pat the bar.
