BARTENDER
Joan Papalia Eisert
my skin tightens on me
like knots in the sea-net
the warmth here
evades my body
my hands are numb
from cracking ice
men watch me
walk back&forth
pull a draught
mix a bloody mary
obligingly jabber
in vigilance
some believe
they love me
some believe
they know me
all of them
never see me
i swallow
music laughter
words smoke
eyes&lies
time in this bubble
is tenacious
urses
and shoes and shoes and shoes
rich syrupy savory shoes
d look and touch
look and inhale
