heated discussion
the bar supporting two who are
intoxicated
he defends an imaginary santa
claus in the sky
after i just happen to mention
there is no
sweet by and by
then he lashes out that i have
a huge ego
to which i respond
realizing his ignorance
“there is no ego
in fact there isn’t anything
but what you perceive to be
in truth there isn’t even you
and me
beyond what you define
if this you could only see
then you would understand
that only romantic love
can make the stars be more
then the universe having
a bad case of gas”
his fist soars and hits my nose
knocking me off the bar stool
but i only burst into laughter
that happily ever after
can only exist if all of us
agree
the bouncers descend
and send him on his way
i regain the stool
and the barkeep pours me one on
the house
i have neither won nor lost
wishing wells and coins tossed
do not change what was never
prearranged
a napkin accepts the flow of my
blood
it serves its function
but humans will never
understand
that they serve no function at
all
