"Last Call" (Paper & Marker)
Last Call
A clown in a baggy brown and yellow checkered suit bends down to pick up a
balloon, with every step forward to get it, the tip of his foot moves it ahead a
little. The band had gotten off the stage to take a break but the trumpeter who
had been lingering as he waited for his girlfriend, one of the dancers, plays a
slow lament from his stage-side table. Nearly falling over in the process,
finally the clown gets the balloon. He cradles it in his arm like a baby and
tenderly presses his cheek up to it. The waitress asks me if I would like
anything else before settling my tab, a girl with a round ass from Rome plumps
down onto my lap and there is the sound like a shot ringing out of something
popping.
