"Only" a Bartender

If anyone had read my comments this week, you would know that we're in Chicago for remembrance of my brother-in-law Vince. Interred his ashes yesterday at the cemetery on the South Side where five generations of family are buried.

Vince was "only" a bartender. If you don't count his published novel, his poems and other writings, his sketches and paintings. Here's a sample of his work I thought the Horde would appreciate.

I consider this world to be
the home of fools and thieves
And I gather them
gratefully around me.
