To sit beside

Sitting still
fleeting body
sitting still

I contain memories
I remember the early spring bird
I remember it
to paint my blue sky dark

everything is fragile
people too

oh to lose composure
oh to old time friends
oh to sit beside

for those who don't need poetry
I salute you all
but turn to raise my glass to the regulars at this bar
for some, sneezing is the greatest pleasure of all
