You show up at the bar at six, regulars already sloshed after two, three, four hours double fisting the whiskey beer $4.50 combo, tables of five here there musical chairs, chat chat gleep
Spittle mist of gossip bragging bitching and grandstanding a tangible greasy fog that perceptibly wavers as pairs go out to smoke, joining new tables, who get up to occupy new available spots spots
Playing video crack pool shuffleboard or mostly elbow leaning TV worship
The petri dish of science denying intoxicated gets more jello loosey stupid, mask schmask the backtalk and badittude gets ugly but barkeeps bow to biz and their tip quota
One loser yells about teachers pensions
Another 300 round guns
As dopey ignoramuses bond with one another over insurrection
Tummy the barhag says she's going to the governors home if there are more restrictions sneering as our covid infections rate the worst 2 week rise in the nation
It's six pm and there's 5 more hours to mingle backslap and promenade one's partner too pathetic to endure one another at home overmuch
Closing at 11, used to be serving until 2am
Staggering stumbling fighting no problem, rightwing koolaid cares more about money than common sense safety, humanity
As the rag tattered street crawler goes thru the ashtrays wet with twelve hours of butts high fives all dingdong day
Oblivious to oblivion and ridiculously unprincipled particles of which they're comprised
