50 (the barmaid's freckled hand)
Let me tell you what a liar I am
I'll tell you right now, right here, everything,
or, well, I don't know, maybe I shouldn't.
I'm more interested in you, anyway.
And isn't it always there? In the tinkling
glasses, laughter, and the barmaid's freckled hand?
Isn't it the grail mix of the mixed drink?
A liar, a liar, is a good man.
These men with the porcelain on the quay, / are trusted all, never not innocent. / Who could love a man who won't dance, won't sing? / Trust a man who trails his bowels, who knows, / our little losses—just the cheer of crows.
