Dirge for the Cambridgeport Saloon

An infrequent watering hole for me,
yet I remember every frequenting:

6 years ago, with Allison and Eric: Cool jukebox, lively by 9pm.
5 years ago, with Dan and Eric: Skinheads.
3 years ago: Empty. $2 Milwaukees Best.
1 year ago, with Nicole. We played darts and
shot pool with fat scary tramps.

Then: The stabbing, and
MIT moved next door, and
$2 beer and quarters pool
is not a feasible business plan.
The dive bar dove.

Who would care except those who would
chance death to deliver an epitaph
with electrical tape?

The Cambridgeport Baboon:
Hairy, foraging, fierce,
extinct.
