An Urban Corner Bar _new poetry February 2026

An Urban Corner Bar


Don Quixote Bingo

Playing on the jukebox 

Fried fish Fridays.

At one of the tables 

A hipster is reading 

Steel City Mafia

"So, his decline 

Doesn't have to be our decline.

The old man is an ego maniac 

And his condition. Don't get 

Sucked in and feel sorry 

For him for his condition.

Would he feel sorry for you?

Does he? No! We eat 

Peanuts and live in squalor 

While he lives like a king."


A woman in a business suit 

Walks in with a bodyguard.
