Along The Road Forever

New Year's Eve, Reno, Nevada 2022

i would like to remind
the management
that the drinks
are watered
and the hat-check girl
has syphilis
and the band is
composed
of former ss monsters
however since it is
new year's eve
and i have lip cancer
i will place
my paper hat
on my concussion
and dance
