An evening with dear friends 
The gut-punching realization that your young friend
Who you've known since she was 12
Is now the age you were 
When you first came here
And now she's old enough to have a local bar
And favorite beverages at said bar 
The joy of a piña colada and   
Cocktails with pop rocks 
Talking theatre until the bar empties out
​Walking giddily through Harlem
