The coffee was bitter

So I took another drag

Off of my cheap, fat cigar

Just to get through the day.

She was quite a hitter,

I thought she was a hag

Or just plain mean, by far.

The thought of it just made me sad.

Guess I'll just go away.

04/21/1979

Author's Note: ... early stuff... I was drinking cafe au lait, at Cafe du Monde in New Orleans, was it really thirty years ago? My mortality constantly astounds me....
