June 18

The restaurant tonight had a live salsa band

Their enthusiasm; as intoxicating as the Pisco Sour in hand

The old man on the bongos felt like an old friend

As he banged and he belted each tune to the end

The other percussionist made eyes at a table

The guitarist played as if in front of a record label

The bass player at the back merely shrugged and grooved

Their vibes were on point, and I approved
