I look out the car window
across night fields
squinting; I can see
lives I never lived

I am rarely in a pub
I had never been in Kerry
but that evening I found myself
in a pub in Tralee
the smallest of talk had sent me scurrying
to a cubicle in the pub toilet
and I sat there
killing time
people came and went
while I read graffiti
in a stench
thick as soup
eventually, I steeled myself
opened the cubicle door
walked to the sink to wash my hands
when in he walked—
John B. Keane
eyes hooded, nose long, shoulders sloped
older, but the same
he stood beside me at the sink
winked at me in the mirror
reached into his suit jacket
pulled out a toothbrush
and a tube of toothpaste
started to talk in his heavy accent
a dozen words a second
brushing his teeth all the while
toothpaste foaming on his lips
I told him that I had read "Sive"
and, with his eyebrows high
he spat into the sink
and asked if I had liked it
I paused
too long
much too long
his laughter shook the cubicles
the palm of his hand landed hard on my back
and as I watched the toilet door
slowly close behind him
he was laughing still

Hi, Please be wise, do not make the same mistake I had made in the past, I was a victim of bitcoin scam, I saw a glamorous review showering praises and marketing an investment firm, I reached out to them on what their contracts are, and I invested $55,000, which I was promised to get my first 15% profit in weeks, when it’s time to get my profits, I got to know the company was bogus, they kept asking me to invest more and I ran out of patience then requested to have my money back, they refused to answer nor refund my funds, not until a friend of mine introduced me to Lost Recovery Masters, so I reached out and after tabling my complaints, they were swift to action and within 36 hours I got back my funds with the due profit. I couldn’t contain the joy in me. I urge you guys to reach out to Lost Recovery Masters on their support
