Fading Dreams

Raud Kennedy

His fingertips slowly turn the bottle of beer
in its pool of condensation on the bar.
He should be home with Kylie and the kids
but he’s poisoned with the routine of it all.
He sits in the bar waiting for that call
so he can fight with his wife.
Then when he goes home, chastised,
he won’t feel so trapped, 27, a father
and not who he once dreamed of being.
