In the bar is where

In the bar is where

I’ve found my peace

Where I’ve

Fought my demons

And fornicated

With my angels

It’s

Something about

The intoxication

That accels

The anxiety

Accentuates

The fears

So that I can face them

With dance

And other means

Of destroying

My ego

My understanding

Of the way in which

Things are supposed to

Transpire

I

Only wish this

Weren’t the end

That I could

Employ my efforts

In service of

Something

That actually matters

But alas

I base my decisions

On the fine line

Between another drink

And calling

A car home

I

Pick up my glass

And stand

To return

To the dance floor
