perhaps too critical. 

Bars open after 10pm.

on the corner of Foster Av, 

are a lonely place.

Perhaps day drinking is alright but 

at what point does drinking away your sorrows become too much?

Each other cup, 

another round the faceless man says.  

Cleaning out his bruises.

But in actuality,

 applying alcohol to the gash. 

harming the tissue,

Leaving the cut uncovered. 

Hurting.

I wish never to be caught dead in a bar on the corner of Foster Av, after 10pm again
