Austin

An out-door bar
Is packed

With blonde girls
Wearing high heels and pearls
Looking better prepared
For Marsha Brady’s 17th birthday party
Than a concert

With dark haired boys
Sipping tall cans
Through maintained mustaches
Wiping spills from stubble beards

With the openers lead guitarist
Waving off would-be groupies
With his wedding ring
As his bassist
Takes pictures
Of himself with his I-Phone

With the first sip of a new beer
You make your way through the crowd
Through the plaid shirts
The hopefully stylish fedoras
Colorful tattoos on necks and arms and backs
The gossip of pre-thirties girls
And post-teen boys
Through the hipster scene
You see her
Tapping her feet
Nodding her head
Lost in the moment
Just before
She turns
And smiles
At you
