POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction

discontent...

hear the woman at the next

who always sits in the corner
quietly reading his paper...
so I immediately begin to
read it aloud and pretty soon
everyone's looking and ever since
then I draw quite a crowd...

doorway of the red lion...
so anyway,
I'm rolling a
cigarette, looking
up at the
night and
that star...
but the zippo
has gone from
my pocket
and I'm
seeking
a light
more prosaic,
outside a
run down
bar...

theory, if

been a bit of a loner and he really
wasn't the type to come up...
