down the road

 
two old friends
drinking coffee,
eating donuts
and talking about
the past

they talk about
the past because
there is a flood
of warmth and
surety in the way
the world used
to be

they talk about
the past because
it reminds them
that they once
had a future to
look forward to

they talk about
the past because
they know that
there is no " down
the road" for either

and even if there
was

it would not be
worth the journey
getting there
