The bar is dark-
the doors barred shut
with the ominous notice pinned to the doors.
If you peer in the window,
you can see stools lying on the ground
and dust-covered tables and chairs.
They say someone was shot there
but it's only a rumor.
Banana Joe's has never been open
and, like a battered soul, it will stay closed forever.
Author notes
I have actually seen a place like this. Your picture reminded me of it.
