at the bar
i was silence Lemonade Martini $5.50

We sit and listen
to poetry in
the yellow light
and clink of bottles.
It is cold outside.
the light was laughter Mocha Mudslide $5.50

People hold the microphone
too close to their
mouths. They breathe more
than speak, words
mixed with puffs of
air, a new rhythm.
alcohol spread the room Mandarin Cosmo $5.50

Time slips from eight
to nine and the guitars
dominate words. Some original
but some not the music
encourages the audience
to talk loudly.
again i forget and remember Mai Thai $5.50

A girl comes up
to read poetry again. She asks
us how we're feeling. We're
feeling good. She asks
"How are you feeling so good
when it's so cold outside?"
too many images and caresses Uptown Manhattan $6.00

I like the cold, I love
it when the wind tugs
at my arms and pushes me
along. I feel so alive,
so real. She says that women
get performance anxiety too.
too many echoed dreams Chocolate Martini $6.00

The wind chuckles outside. I
touch my coat, my gloves, my hat, my
scarf (still with its red ribbon). Though
my fingers grow stiff through
my green gloves, I still reach out
to smile at the wind.
my watch stopped after that night Nutti Irishman $6.00

I watch reflections not people,
smudges in the mirrored walls.
The room is brighter
when I close my eyes. Faint snow
outside is caught in the headlights
and wind.
but never the time
Mamasita Margarita $7.00
