I Never Should Have Left That Wonderful Place

I was sitting on the couch at a party
Featuring great food and cocaine
Sipping Absolute on the rocks with lime
Thinking this isn’t a bad place to be right now.

Some guy sitting in a chair across the room said Edward Hopper was An awful painter but a great artist.
How can that be? I thought.
Was he a sculptor? I asked.
He wasn’t listening to me.

I couldn't stop thinking about the disastrous last play of a devastating Baseball game.

A girl said let's get out of here.
We went to a bar.
I woke up dead
With a crumpled napkin in my jacket pocket that said

Edward Hopper
Awful painter
Great artist.
