6355. HASTEN TO THIS

HASTEN TO THIS
Glass balls in a blue vase : the table
has four legs. Hidalgo is the man  -
over there  -  with the very well-trimmed
beard. He drinks a drink the color of jade.
-
A couple of legends haunt this place : 
John Barrymore, it is said, signed a contract
here, Debbie Harry and Chris Stein used to 
come in together, John Lennon parked his 
Rolls right by that doorway. Tom Waits
lived here forever. The Tropicana in el lay.
-
No, I never cared much for that stuff. 
This is where the plane set down. 
I rented a car. 
Here I am.
