Barfly
2 AM
3rd Avenue Madness
City that never sleeps is
wide awake and roaring
Pressed tin ceiling
brass and wood and neon buzz
Mets on the tube above the bar
Friends at the bar
billiards and beers
patio on the
20th St side
I am home
with these friends
at this place
on 3rd Avenue

I know that street corner. Awesome verse, B. Very evocative.
Jenn at the bar is a friend of mine.
I’m there every time I’m in town.
Nice. Home away from home. Where everybody knows your name… Oh wait, that’s Cheers.
Harrr! *grin*
Home.
Friends.
Nice….
It’s a great place to be.
I used to be a HUGE barfly so I appreciate this — makes me homesick.
Glad I could take you back to the good stuff, friend.
and to think there was a point in my life where I looked forward to an event like that. Now its exhausting to even think about it. Great poetry! it wore me out…lol
Hah! Yeah, I’m pretty boring now too.
Great to have you here!
