Wet tables,
sticky floor,
quarter drafts,
cover band
playing nonstop.
A rowdy gong on
the cowbell
hanging from
the ceiling
after a big tip.
And if it’s
big enough,
Sugar Bear will
hop on
stage and sing
Mustang Sally
while flashing her
kitchen table tattoo,
”Can’t Touch This”.
Greg Clary is a retired college professor who was born and raised in Turkey Creek, West Virginia.

His photographs and poetry have appeared in many publications including The Sun Magazine, Looking at Appalachia, Rattle, The Watershed Journal, Appalachian Lit, Rye Whiskey Review, Waccamaw Journal, and the Hole in the Head Review.
