One Drink, One Man
People walk all about
Humming a soundless tune of self-doubt
The drinks keep coming
Steeped in endless fuming
Friends joke around
A truth sealed and bound
Hiding behind a deadpan
Sustaining the image of an American man
βMore!β, everyone shouts
Raising their cups forgetting their spouse
Sitting here with a straight face
Wanting to forget my workplace
This is based off Miss Lonelyhearts by Nathaniel West. Please give me lots of feedback even if you have not read the book. Thank! :)
