NotQuiteStray

• It’s 5 feet to the bar.
• And I’ve not yet found you.
• Sat by at this crossroads.
• Where old conversations are reconvened.
• Caught up at the signs that read.
• “How are the kids?”.
• And “it’s been too long”.
• Waiting in their traffic.
• And I’ve not yet found you.
• A coffee here.
• A whisky there.
• (If desire feels so inclined).
• My search continues.
• The sun goes down.
• And I’ve not yet found you.
