10:30pm In Stan's Basement

A Poem by Ryan Robinson
"

The moments of nostalgia that make us realize that youth never lasts.

"
Here it lies
Staggered panes of glass, 
transfixed on light that
flashes through the solid piece
of solid minerals during sunset,

Clusters of aromas,
Stan's basement, stale tobacco, 
warm beer, tanned leather, pot,
dense in the air we breathe,
Holding on it's own.

Old cassettes blare, 
faces smiling, fake,
forced laughter of good times,
sitting, standing, showing 
newly discovered artists,

That no one really cares about,
We all pretend to fit in, 
But nobody ever just "fits in".
