Oh he’s had a few<\/p>\n
but still<\/p>\n
he watches<\/p>\n
like a cat<\/p>\n
the bird<\/p>\n
out of reach,<\/p>\n
her farm girl beauty<\/p>\n
bouncing behind the bar,<\/p>\n
beyond belief.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“You gotta admit she’s got it”<\/p>\n
he purrs<\/p>\n
to anyone on the next stool<\/p>\n
then, putting his dry lips together<\/p>\n
he puckers a quiet,<\/p>\n
“God damn it!”,<\/p>\n
and orders another beer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She brings the beer<\/p>\n
then returns to<\/p>\n
chat and chirp<\/p>\n
with the other wonder lost<\/p>\n
women at the other end<\/p>\n
of the bar.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He shakes his head<\/p>\n
and wonders how<\/p>\n
to catch her gaze,<\/p>\n
bring her down to earth<\/p>\n
his grave.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Tomorrow, tomorrow”,<\/p>\n
he mutters,<\/p>\n
then orders another beer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
