5 who sat in a pub
challenging one another
by being
by remembering
events seemingly
all generic
though really
extraordinarily complex
the radius of time
smothers unexplained
glorious scenes
of on and off again
nearly missed
encounters along
blatant labyrinths
with others
defining relationships
growing stronger
through discussions
carried at home
on journeys far away
and maybe some
can do magic
sung in memory rhymes
the architecture of lies
that lawyers debate
broadcasted on news
leaving it open for
artistic impression
to again be retold
by 5 who sat in a pub
