A Poet Walks Into a Bar . . .

*claims a bar stool... *

i'm a history fan; pour me a long glass of fables and high hopes? :kiss::kiss:

Tom Collins for you :kiss:

They met in an imaginary bar where he served e-drinks that were merely a metaphor for the social lubricant of relaxed conversation :rolleyes:

Oh you push button verbose archaeology

You originally from TN, and joined the Navy? My dad, too. Thirty years later, he retired from the Navy and went into civil service.... working for the Navy. :D

He was stationed in San Diego a couple of times; I was there his second time, when I was four. :)

I've gone back to Cali a couple of times since I was a kid; lived there for nearly three years in my thirties, one of those years in SD. Sometimes I miss it.

Oddly, there are some who assume I'm from California. I don't know why that is....
 
Brandy, coffee back
Sun's abed, no wind
window down the hill
sodium light splattered
where the drive goes flat
 
pulls up to bar
inhales
the scent of bygone years
cigar smoke
the clack
of pool balls
off in the corner
the bar maid there pulling taps
and I wonder if the other head
she gives is as perfect as the leveled
foam
on my first brew

a few stray thoughts
as I lean heavy
ponder
the universe
drifting in the dull buzz

uncaps a a bottle of cerveza, licks the dribble of condensation from its neck and takes a crisp, chilled mouthful of golden deliciousness ... strolls over to the pool table and racks up the balls. selects cue, chalks, assumes position....

H: ''Are you ready?''
b: ''i was born ready''

fresh nuts?
 
I don't know about pool tables but I was banned from billiard ones a verrrrrrrrrrrrry long time ago for bouncing balls across the floor! :eek::D
