Poetic Moments

I live in a garret on 59th street
  above a bookstore and an Irish bar.
  I listen to Classical music on a cheap
  radio and smoke Parliament cigarettes.

  I compose poetry. I feed my creativity
  with whiskey through my afternoons and
  write until my thoughts become mundane.
  There are brief moments of brilliance.
