Rooftop in Little Washington

 

Rooftop in Little Washington

One customer described as

A stunning view of the river,

A caterwauler with a

Townes voice slowly begins

Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here

And the sunset flocks pinkly

Above the Pamlico pushing

A King’s Tide into back yards.

The dessert disappoints, the

Lemon bar too much like a

Common cobbler, you sigh and

Drift to the chorus as he

Plays mandolin into the

Pre-recorded guitar track

Too loud and you lift the fork

For the final bite as a

Harley growls down Water Street

And three, four, you tap your feet.
