Mark Twain

He sat at the bar

with either stool around him empty.

A mug of beer sat in front of him

half-empty.

If you didn't know any better

you may have thought him

to be Mark Twain

in jeans and a work shirt.

Hunching over his drink

while the music played

the world seemed to

fade in and out of

clarity. Nothing new here,

just old habits

killing one day

at a time.
