I am sitting on the counter of the bar where I work The moon hangs waning buoyant in the sky It is starless- It is midnight blue- not yet engulfed by nights depth There are bodies strewn about I have exchanged “What can I get for ya” With a hundred “A margarita, please” None of them know my name Or whether or not I’m sure if I want to be here None of them asked And I wasn’t going to tell them that I never expected to be here They just want their drink Single tall, no story added And I am not saddened by it I am not really anything at all But another body Occupying this space Wondering If they will forget me as quickly I have them Their faces A mirage now, An early morning dream fading quickly Tomorrow We will all just be bodies Occupying other spaces Probably not exchanging names Moving like an empty wind Through hundreds of other bodies

I am Sitting on the Counter
I am sitting on the counter of the bar where I work The moon hangs waning buoyant in the sky It is starless- It is midnight blue- not yet engulfed by nights depth There are bodies strewn about I have exchanged “What can I get for ya” With a hundred “A margarita, please” None of them know my name Or whether or not I’m sure if I want to be here None of them asked And I wasn’t going to tell them that I never expected to be here They just want their drink Single tall, no story added And I am not saddened by it I am not really anything at all But another body Occupying this space Wondering If they will forget me as quickly I have them Their faces A mirage now, An early morning dream fading quickly Tomorrow We will all just be bodies Occupying other spaces Probably not exchanging names Moving like an empty wind Through hundreds of other bodies
