Graveyard Shift at the Downtown Dive

by Trisha De Gracia

Chicken Bones
and Boa Feathers
Girls in cowboy hats
and Leather Gloves,
napkins Strewn ringside
of CreamerCup fights
and Butts laying fresh
for the Forage.

Three pairs of Horn-rims
one Empty Shoe
a Hair on your Toast
and Gum in your muG,
A Hundred times "NO" to the Late a.m. Boozers
A Thousand times "Yes" for their Cab-Ride home...

End of the Night
I do up the Tally:
Forty-five dollars in twoonies and dimes
3 sly offers for Sexual Favours
and 8 hours here
at The Diner.
