Rosie's Hangout

© Elizabeth Larrabee

On warm summer nights

when our gang gathered in neoned shadows

behind Rosie's Bar and Grill

our noses planted on the window sill

mesmerized by sinners slow dancing

to "That's the Glory of Love,"

I never dreamed that fifty years later

I'd remember and write about it

as if it happened

only yesterday.
