in a book I bought
from Strand in 2012
but never read...
I think it was a note
passed to me
while bartending
about where cocaine
was hidden in the bathroom...
may we all revisit
treasures of our mistakes,
and learn from the lies
of love...
may you have a full half hour
in the devil's ocean
and another under
the attack of heaven...
the past will pass you notes,
and how you interpret them
is how the future
will interpret you.
