By Nile Coy

A man sitting alone at a bar,
drinking slowly,
He is a failed painter,
failed actor,
failed Jazz musician,
and now he tries to write.
“People will read again..”
he assures himself, as he
drinks very slowly.
Someone must read
what he has written.
He has described a most
beautiful television set.

-Nile is a landlocked pirate in a marching band uniform and a cowboy hat.
