the bar-noir


 there's a decaying piano
 in "the bar-noir"
 that nobody plays
 whenever i feel
 like i'm starting
 to disappear
 into the chorus
 of shit-faced
 patrons whispering
 conspiracy claims
 into their beer
 i stroll over
 to the keyboard
 & bend my ear
 toward the strings
 i hammer
 a low blue note
 & jam the pedal
 to the dusty
 dance floor
 then i close my eyes
 & listen
 as that solitary
 son-of-a-bitch rings
 out a monotone song
 to fit this monochrome
 scene of needful people
 sifting through
 the remains
 of a naked city night
