When is the game over? When the man dies? When the first born is a girl? At the end of the first meal without salt? When the woman dies? At sunset? At the late time of night when the spirit ebbs? When his one good joke is repeated too often? When his son is killed by friendly fire? When the potatoes are blighted? At the end of high school football stardom? When rejected by a prom date? When destituted by frivolous litigation Destituted by insufficient health insurance? When caught cheating? At cards? In adultery? In a resume? By the IRS When caught? In a sting? Ten most wanted? Interpol? When I finish my drink? When I empty my wallet?

Questions to a barroom mirror at a bad time in a man’s life when his hair is going and his job has gone too
