Just Because

She was once employed
at the Workingman’s Bar
edge of town
not that far,
Served up drinks
and advise
she and I
made love twice,

One time the roads
were closed with snow
nowhere
for us to go
Decided to sleep
in the back
somewhat drunk
indeed, in fact,

One thing lead
to another
another drink
another lover,
It all worked
the way it does
when you’re drunk
just because,

Then the second time
just last week
she sent a text
said what do you think,
No longer worked
at the bar
now off chasing
some Broadway star,

This time not
drunk or crazy
took our time
somewhat lazy,
It all worked
the way it does
when you’re sober
just because,
