Napkins
Can napkins not esteem or honour a history of being placed gently on laps to catch, take hold of, what is carelessly spilled or dropped, used then to pat lips before being rumpled tenderly, after eating, and placed carefully at one's side? At a table in a bar, a paper napkin on my lap, I look at friends: they have their napkins sitting at the sides...

The Napkin
God took a vacation when time had run out Rethinking his opus replanning devout His Angels in limbo the devil on leave Heaven a sublet sin now reprieved Faith worn and tattered the bible debunked Crusades a bad memory the Grail marked as junk He orders a cocktail the waitress comes back A napkin — her number salvation highjacked (The New Room: December, 2023) ...

Premium Member Falling In Love With a Cocktail Napkin
The brassy sassy cocktail napkin winked at Jim. He looked around quickly, wondering who saw. The other patrons at the bar did not seem to notice. Have another drink! She said. I’ll go home with you. He had two more before stuffing her into his pocket. She had been giving him sexy promises all night long. “Do you want an extra...

Napkin Song
Greasy, saucy drips And ice-cold sips (That sometimes spill) Need a thing with soaking skill Puffy paper that isn't soft (Blow your nose but not too oft, Or it'll get red and sore), Perfect for milk not well-poured Napkin, napkin! One or two; Especially messy? Grab a few; Napkin, napkin! Leave no trace Much, much better than egg on your face -- I originally wrote this on a...

A Poem On a Napkin
I have noticed her for weeks now, this same coffee shop, the same table, the same time each day I am taken by her beauty, the way she smiles and sips her coffee, Irish cream I believe, reading her iPad intently, enjoying herself it seems I have found myself daydreaming about her, her wonderful brown hair, not really knowing what has...

Words On a Napkin
WORDS ON A NAPKIN I sat there at McDonald’s in grief from recent loss And asked God why it happened, why I must bear that cross. I’d lost a precious daughter, one for I oft did pray, And now so young, God took her to be with Him that day. Oh, no, she was not perfect, a special need she...

The Napkin
I woke – or did not – and found on my pillow, Bound by a knot – printed on a white napkin, Strawberry lips with a pale pink glow; Then I wished they were copied on my chin. The only mirror is above the ceramic sink, In the gloomy bathroom – But I dare not to see: If nothing...

Bar Thoughts On Napkin Found
Dried discarded utensil utterly useless when no longer perform duties, shun slowly you and me hardly test water prior to corrupt, sought drive pile yet high, care not be I problem, speak lack thought though much goes into being so uninfluential, quiet longing steps to steppes daily craving can’t satisfy. Golden spires held spikes by squires head said go very cold, touch...

Cocktail Napkin Therapy
I just found a note that I wrote in the bar I need to stop sitting in trees I need to stop sitting in trees See the tops of the trees swaying in the breeze They say that's the place to be but I don't think so I see the force of the wind making them bend and bow And I know that force...

Poison and Napkin
The first time I had been blue, I remember, Sitting at the bar, With the attention of that one person behind it, Only.. And nobody else. I wrote my first song. Gulping down chilled poison, And lurking the shallow crowd The smell of beer, The smoke, The intoxication beyond reasoning, Hovering in the humid air like an unscrupulous dream, I found my poison dripping from my fingers, Painting the...

Written On a Napkin In the Instance That I Heard
This was written the moment i heard her laugh... A laughter splits my silent thoughts and sends me to my knees, A noise ive never heard before is fresh like morning dew, yet harder still to remove than frost upon my window. I watch or rather hear the drops that run like unbroken water, in formations never tamed not unlike...

Unsuspected Poet and His Poem On a Napkin
Whilst we, comfortably, sat In a not so trendy bar, over a pack Of Marlboro Light and a bottle Of Bandol wine, He wrote his poem On a piece of napkin, moving me To sit closer, next to him, to read it; His words and style were beautiful And well-crafted; perfect, for an Enameled frame, for my room’s...
