Bar Rags









Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Gottfried Heinwein

Stained by lips of moral decay
Kissing liquefied pain from cruelty goblets
Topsy turvy patrons balanced on stools hanging on for dear life
Against the storm.

  4. I try not to remember, but now and then something akin to your poem, Jo, and I recall hours trying to escape from reality
