Brewing Time by Neetu

December 26, 2023 by Neetu Malik in category Poet's Day by Neetu Malik tagged as Neetu, no rushing, staying a while, wayside brewery

Brewing Time

unaware, you become
resigned to
where you find yourself

relieved there’s no rush
to hit the road again

the road will be there
it never ends

you’d rather stay awhile
make some friends

enjoy a short stop
at a wayside brewery

pulling over
you scrutinize the long list of brews
names you haven’t heard before

the bartender smiles as he explains
the dark and the pale
you’re tired of the same old stout and ale
you ask for the hoppiest he can recommend

you take a swig, a sharp tang on your tongue
tells you it’ll do

the road has a long wait
it’s going to be quite a while
before you’re ready to move
