Joseph Pinto, the barflypoet

shameless book promotion time! another selection from my 2nd poetry collection ‘scotch & scars’ from 2020.

 

a hill to some is a mountain to others. light to some is darkness to others. i guess what i’m saying is please don’t ever judge unless you wear the same shoes…

 

‘scotch & scars’ is available on amazon. if you enjoy it, please indulge me the favor of a review.

 

today’s selection is:

 

‘bank account’

 

all the money in the world

why would he go and hang himself?

 

i pondered the question

sipped my scotch

while conversation surged through the bar

an incoming tide of bewilderment

and bullshit.

 

i had one more for the road.

 

sometimes i drive the highway

when it is empty and dark

with my eyes closed tight.

 

i do this without a buck to spare

in my wallet.
