Made Any Difference

Janet Kuypers, 04/26/11

So I’m at my bar / my favorite hang-out
I just overheard / from people talking

that another guy / who’s always here
in the past few months / has had a few strokes

and this is grapevine / I just heard snippets
but I needed to see him / put in my two cents

he went out for a smoke / and even though I don’t
I walked outside / after he lit up

I reached my hand out / toward his smoke
he offered me a new one / but... I wanted his

then holding his smoke / I told him I heard
I spoke of his wife / asked about his kids

and I don’t want to / get on a high horse
but we care for him / we want him happy

he said I was right / he’ll take some time off
then he saw his smoke / said that he should quit

handed me the smoke / and then walked away

I stood there a while / sucking nicotine
wondering if I / made any difference

Made Any Difference



Janet Kuypers

04/26/11










So I’m at my bar

I just overheard



that another guy

in the past few months



and this is grapevine

but I needed to see him



he went out for a smoke

I walked outside



I reached my hand out

he offered me a new one



then holding his smoke

I spoke of his wife



and I don’t want to

but we care for him



he said I was right

then he saw his smoke



handed me the smoke



I stood there a while

wondering if I


my favorite hang-out

from people talking



who’s always here

has had a few strokes



I just heard snippets

put in my two cents



and even though I don’t

after he lit up



toward his smoke

but... I wanted his



I told him I heard

asked about his kids



get on a high horse

we want him happy



he’ll take some time off

said that he should quit



and then walked away



sucking nicotine

made any difference
