neatotaylor:
Scribbling poems on the back of napkins
in between wiping down tables and pouring drinks
making believe that they’re not written by me
fooling unsuspecting patrons who pick up their beers
“Who wrote this?” they ask in delight
wringing out the ale and squinting into the runny mess of lines
…
Steamy...
Took the scissors to my hair, swept up all the little spikes
Shave and a haircut, hot shower. Used to be all a man needed to get a leg up
I like to roll a smoke after, my breath adding volume to the steam
A dirty reward, I leave the washroom smooth as silk.
If cleaning up were my job,
I could clean any place out
THESE clowns.
