Old girlfriend looking
happier with new boyfriend
than she ever did with me.
Bartender,
an old-I-thought friend,
won’t give me one free beer.
Am not invited to leave with
the people I arrived with.
Sitting on the barstool, drunk,
watching it all disappear.
After a rather extended and varied second childhood in New Orleans, Matt Dennison’s

River Poetry Review and Cider Press Review, among others. He has also made short
films with Michael Dickes, Swoon, Marie Craven and Jutta Pryor.
