Our Group

We are people who normally would not mix. But there exists among us a fellowship, a friendliness, and an understanding which is indescribably wonderful. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous (Kindle Locations 390-391).
We're an odd lot,
a group that would never exist
except in this fellowship.
We sit around the circle,
shiny Oxfords next to flip-flops,
beside Jimmy Choo stilletos,
by holey ratty tennies.
Steel-toe boots, muddy,
spread wide before the chair
while psychedelic canvas
aline beside the wearer's
grandmother's black brogans.
We're an odd lot,
our family of choice.
