Pleasantry of Pageantry
“Friday again” My mind utters Already making my way To the bar I’ve allocated For friends and I to play And experience all things fated In its halls; loud and cluttered . Reintroduced to calmness My tongue drowned in suds Hands wish for one to caress As my heart slows its thuds . Surely, an...
