Barmind

*My mind

The Stage

I’m filled to a brim of dimmed bar lights

With the fewest of men gathering after works brew

Too much wheat

Too much rye

You’ve always enjoyed the flavor, so I counted on you for tonight’s half way pay.

Taste buds-yours are different

The stage and bar are both my mind, most nights

You work here?

I do not recall hiring you

No recorded resume either

Guess that’s how you’ve always gotten by

My intoxicated, stricken tendencies not caring to scam a background check  

What a hell of souls bottling down memories no longer apart of their minds

Guess that’s why I am an entire nightclub on the inside

Full of memory, music of genre spread variety

Giving many great nights of their short lives

I did so to you

Your on stage hovering like the snarling business associate you’ve always been.

But why was I too?

Dis-associating me from that is no option now

Nor ever

Oh your working around in my mind, I had almost forgotten

It’s been few too many drinks tonight.

 

I’m filthy

I’m sitting in my minds smoky corners with pool tables crowding my space

Click Click Are your breaking?

You have always liked my rack…ing

Dim blue lighting

When I take form of a whole crowd, I am an entire dim blue light

Your white

On a pedestal

Soaking Sulking Screaming

******* your way out

Expression Blank expression,

But maybe you’ve forgotten who’s mind your working in?

I’m reading you in italic bold

Your hiding it from everybody

But I know

I finally told somebody

They haven’t sold

Why do you erode my mind?

Still I ask

I have yet to discover that

Something I am sure of is that this VIP party won’t last

It’s getting late

Your way to drunk

Me too

How did you start working for this exclusive party anyway?

Sleep it off

I’ll fire you another day*
