pour me a drink over here? Barkeep?"
There's no one around
to watch the underdogs.
All bets are blown,
even Destiny left her sports cup
half-full
or half-empty (I've never known how to say that)
to make it in the corner
with a thunder god.
I think it was Theseus who screamed
"It has all been a terrible mistake!"
That thinned the crowd some.
So what, but man do these swizzle sticks
remind me of Philomela...
now those were legs.
But they're gone now:
the furies, Ra, Morlock,
everyone.
The bar is empty,
quiet,
except for the howls.
