It stared out through to the den of sin, forehead pressed against glass in vain, strangers beyond

looking to be entertained, finding nothing more than a belly of gin.

Trapped watching the arrival of a horde Red eye focused,

burning and bleary its' company

gone to make a query

soaking in sorrow,

it tried not

to appear

bored. Its'

companion

arrived

with

the

violin,

And he grabbed

the glass with a look of disdain, tossed the martini

back to drown the discord while the olive screamed at his fate, so dreary.
