go to the local bar. not a party bar. a dim gritty local bar. sit. order a drink. settle yourself in. listen closely. feel the energy. read the faces. allow the stories into your pores…

‘r.i.p. social media’

funeral services

will be held today

for all the martyrs

that write of their

inconsequential woes

while down at

the local bar

tears fill the beers

of the woebegone

and forgotten.
