Lunch With a Friend

I know this building
Once a pharmacy, now a restaurant
Centered door in south storefront windows
Light flooding in

I know this building
Wooden tables for two or four
Linens forfeited, paper napkins
Warmth all round

I know this building
Front counter now for cash
Rear dispensary now a bar
Pale green serenity

I know this building
Salad and fish home made
Sharing stories and laughs
Memories make us smile

I know this building
Stepped over the threshold
First time today but I’ve
Stepped back to childhood

I know this building
Dad mixing and measuring
Dispensing prescriptions
Filling his need to help
