AS IF

 

I walked by

the door looking in

at the flashing lights

and made it 5 steps past

before turning around.


I tried to walk past

the Trestle Inn

without stopping in

for a Trestlewide.

 

As if

that was even an option.

As if

I ever actually had a choice.

 

I doubt there ever

was a shot in Hell

as if 

I didn’t already know that.

obsession with a dive bar cum faux dive bar in the eraserhood.
