Drinking and Singing with the Irish

  Friday,the 17,I'm having  coffee in Northampton at Haymarket. Down here to write, here in the den of LGBTQ,feeling a bit Q on this Irish Friday.
In strides Marty ,I forgot this was his day. No pandering on the street, he patched togther an outfit which said Paddy all the way and mick if you had too. Today Marty would drink free and live his dream.Marty despite his years panhandling the street of Northampton,drano,hair spray and cheap vodka, was still a bull.  Marty has a fine tenor and sings a beautiful rendition of Danny Boy, Applause
I can't resist...my grandmother being Maggie McCormick, and all,  I stand up sing The Wearing of the Green (learned at my fathers knee)...everyone laughing, he replies in Gallic the Irish National Something or other.. we trade Joyce quotes
‘Love loves to love love’
I reply: History,Stephen said, is a nightmare and I’m trying to escape.
With that his entourage curls out the door headed to Packards or the Tunnel Bar.Their day had just begun. Marty stops at my table and tries to pour  poison into my double macciato, I put my hand over the cup in time, the cold antiseptic clear fluid washes off.
He shakes his head ; 
 Oh ai Jimmmy,All Moanday, Tearday, Wailsday, Thumpsday, Frightday, Shatterday. we scrape the pavement. Today, St Patty’s day we rise up laughing.
