Costa Mesa, Sharks
Club, California
some time in October, 1999
Napkin: 1
In Irvine, no
Actually Costa Mesa -
Feeling a little alienated
apparently, they have an all Asian
night here at
Sharks.
Wow this poem is hands down
the worst yet.
Asians are the most beautiful
do they like people that aren't?
What a dumb Ignorant poem this is.
Well this pretty much sucks.

Great,
I stumbled out of my booth,
now I'm cursed with having some dumb
ass minimum wage idiot bounce
goon watching my actions. I
guess these guys are so bored and
lame that they have to rain a parade
that some of these white guys have
never had the chance to complete.

This pen sucks
one of those skinny cheap blue pens
that none of us has ever seen
owning a cap! trash
dry.
You know the one
that's just darker than baby blue
paper mate shity pens that
unfortunately saturate the entire
undeserving world
with their seventies style inadequacy
which they inflict upon unsuspecting
losers, like myself with =
this longest sentence
I'm done.

Darlene,
Drinking Madori Daiquiris -
Sure I know they think I'm drunk
and insane
I know they're 1/2 right on both accounts.
So what - we all give up
with women its mystery
good relation between men and women
is history
DAMN - I cannot write a decent thing
Not funny, not clever, not true -
only truly bad.
Ran out of napkins
we may ask why I do this and write
why I write bad bar poetry drunk -
most likely it is because
often the only object around to
listen to me is a bar napkin
guess we all need to talk
or we all need something to listen
- for sure at most we all need.
Darlene disappears, meanwhile 3
Madori Daiquiris are at the table being
enjoyed by her neglected other
"girl's night out" comrades.
