#wateringhole
He comes, she goes, no one every really sticks around much.
It rains, the sun bares its face, the clouds come back to steal it’s thunder.
Nothing is ever set in stone
Well, except for maybe human bones and Founding Fathers.
This is a poem I quickly threw together after I heard the line “Since when did my apartment become your watering hole of choice?” —Dan Humphery, Gossip Girl, S2:E22, 21:45-21:40. The last two lines are a play on Mount Rushmore and the setting, Founding Fathers, a bar that often appears in the hit TV Drama, Bones. In the show, Dr. Temperance Brennan, Agent Booth, and their friends often meet at FF for drinks after work. The poem is basically saying, “Nothing is certain, except alcohol and my favorite watering hole.”

The old man at the bar
firmly attached to his seat
he'll not be wandering far
nobody to see or too meet
Day comes in, night goes out
just a fixture, part of decor
weathering a never ending drought
needing less, yet still, wanting more
He looks to the bottom of his glass
and thinks he sees her again
hoping the despite comes to pass
but who is he, too complain
Memories good or bad
a stroll down a well known lane
many more drinks to be had
dulling the thoughts
within his brain
