Sometimes he treated us to a hamburger Or we’d get our orange Nezbit sodas and peanuts to take back out to the car We were grateful for any small thing then He’d come to us sometimes He leaned over us smelling like Lucky Strikes and Budweiser His smoldering gray work shirt, his worn jeans, His blue blood- shot eyes, sad and forlorn, Love passed like a vapor between us and Fear was a given, a constant companion No one knew anything about The bar was noisy with men’s bawdy laughter The wicked laugh of a man at a woman he scorned Or she; The evil empire, the corporation, The low pay, the idealistic boss The economy The lost hunt for a deer that got away The hunger for a justice they knew little of And contributed less The laughter was For the pain they protected Everyone’s pain The beer flowed and frothed while The pang of the women who left them And the pain of the children who stayed Out in the car Hung around Birdie’s Bar Reminds me of a rattlesnake We killed in the summer All the ‘car’ children Hiked the hills Around the bar About five of us Roamed like Indians Whooping over sagebrush Determined to create The sunshine somewhere other Than at Birdie’s Bar
