Quitting time
Is here again
And once again
I’m sipping some beers
Immediately
Upon leaving
The clock
Just as I had done
Every work day
Since the beginning
Weekends too
Going through
The back catalog
To divide time
Between work
And private
Without leaving home
Or even
The couch
– James Dubeau
Holding down
The end of the bar
While the nexus
Works the room
Bouncing
Person to person
Introductions
Pleasantries
Gratefulness
Hard work
Adorned the walls
In plain view
To be admired
Judged
Critiqued
While I sit
Drink in hand
Supporting the bar
Through the storm
– James Dubeau
