DOORS LOCKED by Kenneth Pobo

Jeff and his buddies
head to Bob’s Tap
after work.  They know Jeff
is married to Jerry.  They’re cool 
with it but sometimes….

Carl says, I’m trying remember
a song title from, I think, Cats, 
Jeff, you’d know it, 
you guys love show tunes.  Jeff,
more Led Zeppelin and Joan Jett,
orders another pitcher, talks about
the Brewers.  Closets, 

he thinks, get so deep 
that one leads to another, 
doors locked.
