PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Strutting city streets

spying rooftop bar

with Bob Ross on movie screen

learning the rubes

and casual observers

how to paint a picture

I strut across Walnut Street Bridge

feeling gentle winds

from the Schuylkill River

as I saunter slowly

no envy for those on the roof

open air, great sightlines

they hang out drinking beer

perhaps some wine or mixed drink

I’m sure there’s solid music

and craft beers on draught

Bob Ross painting a picture

and learning the beginners

probably more preoccupied with drink

than the skillful art of painting

Eventually I’ll find myself

a top that roof top bar

sitting atop an urban parking garage

I’ll have a beer

and I’ll wonder how

if I get the same entertainment

God only knows

there may be a day that comes

but for now I walk on

heading for a train station

heading for a ride home
