Second Impressions

Dom the Entertainer stares at me from his business card.
That cocky smile, the popped collar and suit.
Confidence, Success.
Small town wedding singer.
Excuse me, Wedding Entertainer.
Pity or Hate?  I waffle.
Long term guest comes in.
A drunk, a philanderer.
Looks like the even eyed twin brother of Sloth.
More tales of his awesomeness,
of all the money he'll make.
He finally stumbles back to his room
chuckling dollar signs.
I break down and check Dom's website.
That grammar.
I settle on pity, wish his little dream luck.
The guest?
Maybe something will come up.

  3. I love how you tell a story. It's somehow very personal like reading thoughts, without being like stream of consciousness writing.

  11. I really like it, but:

    "That cocky smile, the popped collar and suit.
    Confidence, Success."

    I think the second line is kind of redundant in this case. But overall it's quite nice :)
