Why They Put the Mirror Behind the Bar
It's a bruised and scarred
battleground;
home of the down and out,
the peirced and the branded
for life.
The sick and the weary
sit on their barstools
betting on racing
cockroaches.
With a loud jukebox
there is no room to think.
Only enough space to drink
and forget your own name.
Only enough space to hide
in the cracks of the walls
from the people sitting
next to you,
and only enough time
for nothing to do.
But everyone looks better
in the mirror of the bar.
Opposite,
in the mirror of your house.
