High street bar

Craft ales on tap

Sparse Scandi style

Scruffy piss head at the bar

Expert on everything

Readers on the far wall

Checked shirts and intellectual specs

Books on tables

Steinbeck and Bukowski

The Beer is good

Hop heavy ipa

Rich Porter

Cloudy fruity sour brews

Each new customer appears lost

Study the menu

Looking around

Until another one enters

You don’t belong

Until the next stranger enters
