Lost Sight

I'm looking for my father
his name is Joe
friendly guy
likes to talk
I'm sure you know him
bar stool droop
callused elbows

after a round or two
backslapping
bragging
buying drinks for everyone

middle rounds
boisterous
bullying
braying to the holy mother of God

final round ends
either tossed on his heels
or passed out on the bar

I'm sure you know him
his name is Joe
friendly guy
likes to talk
