For the Thursday Night Bartender

There is a beauty found in women

like you who populate the loud 

and drunken dens of the world

dispensing drinks and gazes to the


hapless men milling for relief.

A generous smile matched only

by your figure, a patience for the 

slurred words of those drinking


for fun or to forget and every

reason in between. You are 

both mother and object of desire,

provider of communication and


libation, the gateway to sanity

and inner descent. The world

is a better place for people like

me because of women like you.
