Trapped @ Work

Is not normally a problem

However, with all my deliveries done

I was making my second to last pickup

75 miles from home and my honey

In the alley of the shipper

Across from a bar with a back patio

Behind the main street historic district

At about 1:30 in the afternoon

The lunch crowd was gone

Empty glasses clinking being removed

The temperature was perfect

Wafting in a slight breeze from the south

Was a sweet blend of

Barbecue sauce and Chris Stapleton

Blues-ing out Tennessee Whiskey

Wishing I was done and out of uniform

In comfortable jeans and a t shirt

Sharing and savoring the sensation

With my sweet – ums

Feeling the warmth of the

Sun and her smile on my face

Basking in both glows

With nary a care in the world

Save wanting those

Magical moments to last forever

Like when we were at a beach side bar

With no place to go and no where to be

Enjoying surf sounds and Jimmy Buffett

Some suds and succulent shrimp
