It’s 10pm Friday night & Mudhoney
Are in town & I’m sat here working on
These words as last night I did it again.

I went out & read my words to a
Crowd in a bar on the street of ill-
Repute & it was beautiful.

I read three short poems & it made
Me feel alive as the crowd clapped
Their approval at the end as I just
Slipped away, smoking a joint all
The way back to my room with
A smile on my face.
