Bar Food is Always Questionable. By Ryan Quinn Flanagan


I tap her on the shoulder 
and she gives me the once over,
smiles and leans in, 
trying to give me her number
as I tell her I just want by.

Pointing towards the bar at the back
from a busy dance floor.

Embarrassed in front of her friends.
All those ladies that drink for free.
Bar food is always questionable

so that I think about how those many
white wedding photos will look.

What a lucky man he will be 
on that day before the full scope of the nightmare 
finally becomes apparent.
