Midtown

Midtown 
Coffee house
Serving medicinal caffeine 
     And bran muffins

Playing old songs 
Through a computer...
Locals chattering on

Where did the time 
Go?
These songs are not 
Old

I remember just 
Thinking
I need to learn to
Play that one 

Just the other 
Day
But life 
Got in the way. 

Now I limp 
A little
As I begin
The walk to the 
Coffee shop

Wondering if the bucket 
List 
Will outlast me

Considering with sorrow
All I wanted to do 
All those dreams
Full of wonder 

Reminding myself to 
Remember 
All the wonderful things 
I have done. 

And something-
Something wonderful 
Yet to
     Come
