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