There’s a version of this where you walked backwards out of the bar.
Past the smokers and the rose seller
You never went all the way in
Coffee instead with mushy fries and coleslaw
The rug you bought was black and blue
Bought a black car with black trim cheap
You never laughed until your side hurt on Jack box games but you got real good at darts
You dyed your hair sapphire like ruin
You sang karaoke in New York
You don’t know what a Lisp is
You never learned what love was but you did throw a wild boat party for 25 of your friends and someone tore their suit on the dock and splashed a cop
Your daughter played the drums
You didn’t have to leave cheese off of things
You kept lists of dream places to live
You had 2 spider plants in a 1 bedroom walk up
You died at 71 having finally grew your grey hair out
There’s a version of this where you walked backwards out of the bar
You never learned what love was
