Bar Writer

Inevitably they come up

you’ve been sitting there achieving a warm buzz
and working out a few hundred words

30 or 40 minutes of peace
you just blew thru your last $3 and didn’t tip
you’re on your way out
and he catches you at the door

‘you’re a writer aren’t you?’

sort of..

‘damn right you are!’

next time he’ll come and sit next to me

guess I’ll have to never come back.
