Same Place, Different Stories

A young couple just arrived at cabin 3.
They have hauled the proper vacation gear
from their trendy Volkswagen to the porch:
Golf clubs, coolers, fishing poles, lawn chairs�
The man now tends the grill.
The woman is probably making a salad.
They'll have sex later-
the same sex they always have.

I arrived yesterday with a duffel bag.
Last night I drove to town and sat in a bar
full of hard men with smooth tongues
and plenty of drinking money.
At 8:30 this morning an old man from the bar
knocked on my door with coffee.
Reeling in my hangover, I stumbled
half-naked to the door and sent him away.
