There is nothing

[tonywalt]

I am sitting at the end

of an empty bar

looking at cotton candy clouds

through the window

and a thousand

black birds wheeling outside

like children, who won't

come home to dinner



These long nights and

days without dates

A glass in front of me

filled with alcohol, water, ice

I do not have to be anywhere


Proof of my existence?

Nothing but.

Thanks, Tony, for this interesting story in your part of the world, which is really intriguing to me.

Really enjoyed this little vignette. Maybe you jotted it down on a square bar napkin. Cheers!
