Zeno’s Last Call _ new poetry December 2025

Zeno's Last Call

I went down to a bar room 

It was underground at best 

Celebrating an A+ I got on the test 

It was an old school place named Zeno's

The valued majestic mascot was Bacchus 

It was a sanctimonious mess 

O.J. Simpson L.A. car chase on TV

Just ask the Satyr, Mr. Maître d'

Big Sur Sun Sutra with Ferlinghetti 

Darts, pool, reading all the graffiti 

The writing on the wall all & all 

Old photographs & those meant to be 

I still have these friends close to me 

Yeah King Richard said I was to marry 

Some punk freak called Sunday Scary 

But hey don't worry you'll lose soon 

But we didn't snorting his brain to the moon

Fatty got skinny 

Fatty got skinny 

Yet all of us felt the cost of the loss 

Kurtz in an Arts Fest tee with a push broom 

Hootie & the Blowfish dropped a beer glass

There's a big TV where they hung a cross 

Within a fishbowl skipping stones what a blast

Professor Trimball's Mass Media was the class 

I got an A+ on the final ordering drinks for all 

Knowing you want to take me home at last call
