The speed of the bartender defies belief
dashing from side to side
customer to customer
bottle to bottle.

She knows where to go
and when
and how.

Would you believe she’s only been here three months?
I know. I’ve watched.

Her grace and familiarity
with the place
is astonishing.
She knows the regulars
and knows how to make regulars.

I’m just in awe of what she does.
Someday, maybe she’ll get my order right.
