Neon Glow

Long hours, no frills
Sunken eyes
Seen a few come and go
Tall and strong-keep em’ comin’
Downing glasses of what makes sense 
Frayed edges everywhere else
Kids gone-wife to
Empty nest, what to do 
Eviction notice painted red
Place of no return 
Amoebic in-between
Smoke curls slowly 
Closin’ time near 
Time the leveler of all things
