the round table

as we talk
about the past around the round
table.
coffee poured,
some smoking, some holding
newspapers,
there is bragging,
there is talk
of glory days.
of the one the got away,
fish,
or a woman.
we are old, but not dead,
we are still
sure of that.
we are here, still here,
aren't we?
while others, god rest
their souls
have not come back.
