bar night saturday

Jack Henry

it was a sad sack bar
that still allowed smoking
as long as you didn’t talk too much and paid in cash

crack whore named betty
eased up on me with a mouth full of crickets
lead filled eyes and skin like the bottom of my boot

she offered to suck my dick
for ten bucks to score a hit
of low grade shit that would work her for an hour before the need kicked back in

i gave her ten bucks
told her to fuck off
took a piss on
a cider block wall
watched her smoke
her stuff and fade

at the bar i sat
forlorn, forgotten
mild in my demeanor
drank bad whiskey
from a semi-clean glass
and found myself
not much better
than her
