Stitches Bar, New York City
Three gay black men
two are named Jason
sit on my left.
Two fashionable women
very high shoes
good that they're all
sitting down
I am drinking alone
in Stitches Bar
not usually
alone in a bar
but here I am
here I am and
I am actually glad
to be sitting between
the Jasons and their friend
next to the women
in the very high shoes
on my own high red stool.
Maybe I'll
write a poem.
