Sarsaparilla

You know when there were coniferous trees all around us?

You know when it was foggy and we couldn't see the mountains -

When Andre sang under a steam clock that chimed Westminster Quarters (and then Operator was not about winter anymore) -

When bartenders and patrons spoke in one voice -

When we hugged under a low ceiling -

When mornings were mornings and breathing was easy --

It wasn't too long ago. Let's go back there.
