Mecca Lounge Sestina From
sunlight into black A
crowded grungy bar You
order up a brew Your
normal, ice cold Bud A
decent union beer Because
you are no bum Beside
you, sits a bum His
hands are filthy black He also
drinks a beer All
welcome in this bar He asks
you for a Bud You
don't deny him brew But you
seek stronger brew To
shock poor dirty bum More
potent than a Bud There's
bock; rich, thick and black On tap
behind the bar You
both enjoy the beer A
friendship is not beer Though
now you've shared a brew You
know outside the bar You're
suit and he is bum By now,
the sky is black Go back
to drinking Bud There's
nothing wrong with Bud But
eat, don't just drink beer The
chili beans burned black And
wash them down with brew Who has
become the bum? A
weekend in the bar Why
can't you leave the bar? Abandon
all the Bud? Go out
with neighbor bum? Attraction
is not beer Attention
not the brew But
lust, hot beauty black Though
bar is good for beer And Bud
is tasty brew Your
heart is bum and black by Garrett Quentin Smith
