guys night out

guys night out is different
now.
it used to be wild
with drinking and dancing,
carousing
with dangerous girls,
almost women
with their fake i.d.'s
but now
howard
won't drive in the rain
or too far.
mark's neuropathy
is bothering him,
so he needs
a cane.
jerry is watching his
weight
and has special dietary needs.
jim is having trouble
with his third
wife, and can't stay out
past ten.
Elgin brings his coupons
and insists
on a booth
near a window to keep
an eye on his car.
Randy asks me on the phone,
what are you wearing,
will we be out late?
