Glass

Peter Magliocco

The way things merge
In our conscious memories
As time passes, & we’re trying
To remember just what it is
Worth recalling in
The current mess of our lives.

We light our cigars
While drinking bottled beer
By the apartment pool.
Signs everywhere say No Glass,
Which we disregard with tired eyes
Invisible, as black holes in space,
Behind our nerd sunglasses.
The boom-buster vibrates with retro-rock
Of caterwauling extremists.

“Wouldn’t be prudent,” you say,
“to vote for any tea party president!”
There we are, drinking & mimicking
Mannerisms of post-“W” colonials
As a teen vixen slips voluptuously into the spa.
She beckons through the mist
For our ulcerous yuppie egos,
Like surgically enhanced sex organs,
To dive in again
Through the grid-locked years,

& laughingly
We drink
One more
Broken

Bottle
of
tears
