Grand Theft Glory

Kurt Philip Behm

Everyone is brave

inside the café

Tall glasses of courage,

fear toasting itself

The sound of the motors,

the drape of the muleta

A court full of jesters

—reliving the lie

    I just finished typing a reply
    to you about 'the sun also rises' by hemingway..
    and every syllable of what you've penned in this poem
    could fit seamlessly into that book
    even as a stand alone scene..
    what a versatile and unique talent you choose to share, dear poet
    cant ever thank you enough

    • Kurt Philip Behm

      Thanks so much. In 'Death In The Afternoon' he
      expounds on the theme.

      Kurt
