I sat at the bar



I sat at the bar
What a boring life I lead
The bartender's friend

 Talk is quite mundane
Loneliness, a two edged sword
I'm not home alone

 I breathe in a scent
Dark hair, long legs and Chanel
Beats television

 So I nod at her
She grins at me and sits down
I buy her a drink

    Love Edward Hopper.Your ekphrasis poem captures the loneliness and futility of a certain life style.

    For one who can only stumble to my own fridge/mini bar this sounds like quite an exciting life - i hope the evening didn't disappoint

    Even if nothing came of it, at least it was a change from the ordinary.

    Sure she isn't on TV? The long legs thing made me think of a model.
