Well, special, really since we’ll just have one, and just on Saturday, the day of the Kentucky Derby, followed by a visit from Farewell Transmission, guaranteed to rock your socks off. Unless you aren’t wearing socks already. Oh, but there are 2 drink specials, so it should be plural, never mind! Cinco De Mayo is Monday, which is messing us up, so we’ll have Mexican food specials all next weekend instead.
“THE HORSES”
After spending a night
among horses I remember the fresh
smell of ammonia and
melting snow, the green moon
over the green snow’s crust, a rat
creaking in the hay room, how I shivered
in my overalls and wool cap toward
morning and how calmly the horses slept.
