Beefeaters
I found the new
American metaphor
In a steakhouse
used to be a library
a few books left
for decor
a stereo sits
crooked on milk crate
wait staff
outnumbers patrons
haven't seen
the bartender
In 20 minutes
outside there used to be
oil and aircraft
at least there’s still lighters
outside there used to be
I feel like John Wayne
over budget, overfed
high on red meat
naked without a pistol
on a road everyone forgot
--Jason Baldinger
