Sitting at the Bar




Watching as he pressed and squeezed liquid from the bag.
It's amazing how you can tell someone's
experience in life just from the look of their skin.
How much age, how much sun has kissed it,
the literal scars the world has physically declared on.
Veins are nothing like laugh lines.
They map out the body with life.
Skin becomes more fragile,
as if we aren't fragile as it is.
His lackadaisical eyes and firm gaze 
compliment his sharp shaped facial hair
with whatever "look" he seems to be going for
