Perhaps

I went downtown and backwards,
saw lights pumping overhead.
In the corner God was playing

pinball and clearly winning.
The jukebox buzzed my favorite
song but not well, while
a much nicer tune sat chatting
to possible friends or worse-
to possible lovers. Everything about
her was big and white and inviting.
Anyways I had change for two

songs and one drink so I bought
two drinks and drank them.
Then I waited, and waited,
and then some more. It became clear-
I would not get a turn before close.
