Try My Best to be Sober

You walk in
And they lay a coaster in front of you
No judging words
No entry fees
No preliminary exam
That would bar you from entry
They lay a coaster in front of you
You look around
To see who may be there
Who may not
Whose new
How old they are
You make your own judgements
They give you a drink
That makes you feel something
And you begin talking eventually
And on a good evening, laughing
On excellent, exchanging phone numbers
You're under no obligation to answer or call
In every way this experience evokes the absence of  judgement,
Rules, agenda, requirements, the complete opposite of work.
And I'm suppose to be a good little citizen and try my best to be sober?
