Notes About The Poem

Out the back of the pub, overlooking the river and a running path... life is beautiful when we sit back and listen and look and notice.

Pub In the Afternoon

Sitting alone in a crowd eating cheap Chinese became
No words… just birds
Whistling over the distant car hum,
The car hum from the street beat not a mile away.
And the soft music, the slow river, flat chair and hard bench
That’s been eaten off and partied on some other day.
A bike rider, street walker, jogger and car pass under the haze
Of a sky, I sigh
And the birds replace words.
