The Lost Bar Fight 

I. 

ten to midnight 
curls of smoke 
gusts in intervals 
drawls of the opening door 

drip off the bar 
bartender sways   back 
bar stool drip   suspending... 
eyes close over a fluff of white 
drip   drip   suspending... 

the peel-open reveals 
swollen lava streaks   down 
   suspending... 
rag absorbs a beer puddle 

II. 

static, stuffy 
a slow echo in the air 
a squeamish whine rolls 
smoke and tumbles, whirls 

crashes with a shriek 
shrill lava bubbles 
I bat around the eyes 
I cast my vision in the window 

disruption with the door ajar 
thickness of my neck 
a girl's tear   drops 
"slip," she says "it was a slip up" 

and again the flatness 
but what a rush 
"he'd never mean a thing like that" 
God knows he seemed sincere 

decend   the pulled-at cotton puffs 
   drips further down the bar 
twitch, twitch of the bartender's eyes 
   drip   drip   suspending...
