poem of the day 01.12.10

i felt like shit before, but...

i felt like shit before
but now i feel great

i found this little
out of the way bar
and i had two cheap
scotch and waters
on the rocks

as i sang
i adore mi amore
and careless whisper
to no one

while people huddled
in the cold
going to
and from work

and the bartender
chewed out his old lady
on his cell phone

man, i tell you

i felt like shit before
but now i feel great

sometimes it’s just
that easy.
