Aaron, the Elder Brother ~ Wednesday, August 26, 2020

In the Green Room 

nothing illegal 
      (allegedly) 
                        ever happens, 


that musicians 
                  smoke dope 
      along with DJs 

high is all good 
            for Mr. Hopgood, 

even though he says, 
      "we lit..."


Green is not the color 
                        of the walls, 

really, I couldn't tell 
            you why, 

even if my boss 
      knows the reason, 

everyone knows 
                  it's off-limits, 

no one but guests 
      of the establishment 
            may enter...


Remember when 
                  back in the day, 
      when we worked, 

on a good night, 
            the money poured 
      down like manna 
                  in the desert, 

oh the crowds, the women, 
                        dressed up to party, 
      to twerk, shake and swivel, 

maybe we weren't rich, 
            never saw ends meet, 
      couldn't afford to pay 
                        rent, let alone 
                  a new pair of Nike Air, 
                                    but we had fun, 
                              yes, we had fun...
