Highway Stop Bar

My uncle owned this bar back in Cincinnati in the 1940's into 1980's when he was called to his reward by his God.

                Reggie

    He's dying in his bed above his bar
    where juke box plays soundtracks
    of life and people dance out loud
    laughing and living fierce desperate
    lives below his death bed. Life on fire!
    Reggie dies quiet. His bar closes
    for his Memorial. All his customers
    remember Reggie and forget bar tabs.
