Bookstore

Our regular table

in a used bookstore.

What a fine idea that they sell wine

along with books

and schedule poetry readings

and trivia nights.

What a blessing

that I know women

who love wine and books and trivia.

Women who drive downtown

once a week to find parking

and drink wine

and inhale the scent of books.

How lucky to know women

who prefer cozy places

away from the in crowd

who value conversation

and laughter

and friendship.

Women without agenda

or pretense.

The women who gather

at our regular table

in a used bookstore.
