In a Dark Bar in Fresno
I spy you sitting flirtatious at the bar alone
eyes dreaming beyond blue cocktailed
oceans floating in a cool tipsy state
skirt raised high releasing August fleshy
fumes wafting down to my lonely barstool
at the end where middle aged men sit
staring off into the past stroking chins
arriving at regrettable moments with each sip.
Two shots Tequila free falling bright lights
blinking from the juke box AC/DC rockin.
Between thoughts our eyes meet
two forty-somethings
