Anonymity
/He sits in a corner
Lively beach bar
At his feet
A battered guitar
Whisky on table
Roll up in hand
On left wrist
Faded leather band
Kind smile for all
Exudes calm
Distinctive voice
Soothing balm
Soft, deep drawl
Undertones of honey
Enter its sphere
Yearn to hear his story
Ask a personal question
Changes subject politely
Departs at end of evening
Cloaked in anonymity
