In Spite Of Them

The sane and the powerful
have had their way with the world
and, truly, they've not left us much.
But still there's this April afternoon
and the kind old bartender calls me Cap'n
as he pours the drinks, tall and strong.
The jukebox plays and you are there
with eyes of cat, hair of raven
and laughter like something holy.
We are beautiful, still, in spite of them.
And clever, yes,
we'll make some magic out of this.
