Ill be happy at happy hour                            

Ill buy two drinks for the price of one an drink em pretendin theyre one

I bought em until they filled my table

the barmaid brought em on trays

                           I sipped one then another  an another  an I tapped em with my steel pen a Sheaffer

I arranged em for the sounds they made

a girlshe smelled like a girl sat at a table across from me

she had a steel pen

I asked Since you aint using your pen mind if I borrow it

she nodded

she was happy without it

then with hers and mine I played songs on my glasses

I sipped melted ice off em to keep em tuned

I played em for awhile

I played em until they were empty  flat  sounding all the same

                                                but now in my room I cant remember a title or the words

I sang to a single songI cant remember how they went

they went right out of my head on a sheen of liquor oil

I dont feel particularly wrongedwhich isnt to say Im not bothered

still  overall  Im excited 

Ill be happy again tomorrow

Im happy at happy hour
