explaining the bouncer

our security has faced temporary setbacks
of financial nature you appreciate but we employ
‘serenity maintenance’ this is a club not some gang
you misinformed this man in your hand was ours
the only one before these two senseless heads here
stood expelling their pedestrian air

the party remains
private
and never is public safety
compromised
save two concussed heads and a jaw
fragmented
and a hundred red faces guzzle
one another sliding shots
of jell-o
their last two dollars to soothe
or thank the bald
hulk tending the door.
