drinking in a bar
a young man, heavy set, beard,
drinking a beer,
drunk but not appearing so.

"So soon may I follow
when friendships decay,
and from love's shining circle
the gems drop away!
When true hearts wither'd
and fond ones are flown.
Oh! Who would inhabit
this bleak world alone?"

drinks his drink.

"And that's the last stupid thing
I have to share with you gorillas."

walks out of the bar.
