"Retribution" 1973: poetry by Michael F. Nyiri

One time crash
Been here a coupla
times before.
Friends pass like
metal balls inside a 
pinball machine
A few beers
A few old songs.
Three guys having 
fun in the den...
If I were drunk 
I'd be sober - 
That's the way I feel
And people like these
Will pass this way
again.
Goodbye my friends.
Can you see the 
tears?
