The Bar

I am having my usual

2 litres in a Victoria Frost cooler

while the 80s playlist

plays down,

Lionel Ritchie, Richard Marx

and all those other sellouts

then

a Cheap Trick rocks on

and

I’m happy

bouncing around the bar

everything is in its place

this most democratic town square

– a bar

of cowboys, lovers, students and mayors

a bar

where we all watch

each other

the whole afternoon

become a little more closer

to who we really all are.

Say you … say me ….
