Remember the 90's and the angst
Remember the long hair and the beach
Remember when we didn't care
Remember the war with spider holes
Remember the Northern Exposures
Remember the joints that left us unaware
We were individuals
Barely related to our surroundings
Yet somehow, we were spared
Remember the downing of a friend
Remember Helga who would bartend
Remember shark infested dares
Remember dreams so vividly true
Remember the snook, the redfish
Remember the tarpon and all we spared
We were individuals
At the pinnacle of freedom
When none cared how we fared
Yet, we're still here
Still drinking beer
Still at the pier

Beautiful, nostalgic poem.
Thank you for reading.
I love the 'remember' on each line, sounds so emphatic. I enjoyed reading this piece. Nicely penned 😊
Thank you, shaa.
Not doing you justice here, are they?
Someone who knew the nineties tha way I knew the sixties should come and engage with this well structured piece.....
Could it be the same youthful detritus from differing ages? You were reading and I dare say understanding the nuances....and I thank you for it.
