For This Day




I want to go the bar

but not how you would think.

I really want to go to the bar,

Ten years ago.

I don't want to go for the first time

or the second time

but for the umpteenth time.

I want to slide on to my stool and

have my drink in front of me

with that familiar smile

or even scowl

from the bartender's day.

Events I would know all about,

except for the very latest.

I don't want to make friends.... 

today.

I want the comfort of easy,

long acquaintance.

I miss that old habit.
