Back Of the Bar... But...

Back Of the Bar…
But…

 

As I get older,

I am more apt to stand at the back

of the bar/venue/crowd

taking in the scene of

a (punk) band and their audience.

 

But there are times in which

I still feel the need

to be on the barricade,

screaming lyrics back

to the band at whose feet

I reside.

 

But sometimes I want to relive

my youth and bounce around

in the pit, rolling upright over

various body parts of others,

falling but never hitting the ground.

 

I feel alive, revived

after a night of

music, comradery,

and ultimately, love.
