On Meeting an Underground Poet

John D Robinson

Uglier than the photo’s portrayed,
long, thin greying hair and a
mouth full of black and stained
rotting teeth with a brittle but
friendly voice;
I ordered him a beer
and an orange juice for myself
and then answered the
expression on his face;
‘why wasn’t I drinking?’
“I went to a party in 1979
and walked away in 2009,
now I don’t drink during the
day; I take enough codeine
to slow down a herd of
agitated elephants and smoke
countless joints and then
I lift a glass about mid evening
until the end of the evening”
he smiled, nodded his head,
he knew what I was talking
about; I knew we were going
to get along just fine.
