Front Towards Enemy
40-11 30th Ave
Astoria, NY 11103
United States
So much longing
In her sleepless sister city
where the cool come crossing
to Queens where wonder
is never as it seems.
Hidden oasis stashed
In tinfoil traces
where beards retire
bare bottom objectification
Improving upon the area's uber-success
a few short blocks to and from the train.
The canz recycled
The ladies dismissed
Now gentlemen follow a sweet
afterglow illuminated clearly
by Afton's good show.
Still the delectability
danced on my palate
with character, charisma, and careful preparation
provided in plentiful portions,
though never enough to satisfy when
flavor is balanced so considerately.
Maybe it was the shake stout,
so refined, so inviting, without a hint of thirst,
it summoned me,
and now my lifelong Irish companion
from days of studious portrayal
where chugging by the pint
was a dare not refused,
now bested by a new shake
stout from the newcomer
excellence in service, show, and preparation.
With all things new,
change has arrived,
and now the once hidden gem
of the big apple's eye
shining beacon of nightlife
density overpopulating
with a welcome elegance
throughout the Astorian's play land,
another instant success,
following in the footsteps
of the original neighborhood savior.
