Dive Bars

every time im drinking in dees at an
odd hour i see an
odd woman who
always wears sunglasses
not the kind you can get away with wearing
in a dark dank bar
typically
dark ass sunglasses with
a mirrored tint
and i always wonder what her story is
which is why i always wander into dive bars
because every face is a story
theyre all a bunch of well written characters in
a poorly written novel about my life

and she always glances at me
briefly

and i dont see her so much as myself staring
and i realize thats about it as
she turns back to her beer
and returns to her conversation with
noone in particular about
absolutely nothing.
