PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Waiting on a train

in a train station bar;

slowly sipping a beer;

tenderly nursing

a double shot of bourbon

watching 

the to & fro

of frantic passengers;

delayed trains

& missed trains

and my time, too,

will come

hastily pay the bill

pound the final drops

likely overtip

and then

the mad dash

for my own connection

but a glance at my watch

dictates another beer

perhaps another shot

We will get home—

eventually.
