we used to gather
in front of the rite-aide
drug store
waiting for the school bus.
across the street
was Meade's drive thru
liquor store.
i'd watch as the men
and women,
off to work in their
coats and ties,
nice dresses, hats
and white gloves
going through the line
for their pints of booze
and wine.
i didn't quite understand
what it was all
about.
but i do now.
