The Waitress
In the dim-lit corner of a forsaken cafe, I dwell alone, as time slips away. He strides in with an air of indifference, Yet his gaze betrays no hint of penitence. Briefly, our eyes entwine in sorrow, A fleeting moment, a glimpse of tomorrow. In his hand, a bouquet of broken dreams, As I suffocate in the silence, it seems. He won't stay,...

It’s her and not the Waffle House That bids me come that way Not the food or awesome prices But her smile that feels like pay Her beauty has me blooming With stares and look and see And as she takes my order No other place I’d want to be Her movements have me craving The all she is to me While simply wearing a...

Little dove won't you sing for me? I'd walk the ocean for your melody And fall asleep out on the sea If only you would sing for me Little dove can I play for you? I'd play all day if you want me to You'd just sit and hear the view If only I could play for you...

The Jolly Little Cafe Where a Chestnut Tree Once Grew - Monologue
There's a jolly little cafe where a chestnut tree once grew, They serve hot bubbling tea and buttered toast, Where the waiter wears a waistcoat which is buttoned up askew And the waitress glides along much like a ghost. The chestnut in the glade has now fallen to the blade Many...

We came walking blind bends at dusk, An overhanging fig picked fresh. No pavements, just a nervous trust that drivers would skirt our single line. Hugging the roadside with torches lit, Phones swung glowing to the ground At each arm's stride, hunger growing. Alkina's Taverna above the bend ahead Bids we run the road blind To steeply climb...

Cinnamon sugar toast please No butter, toasted caramel, not bark colored. Extra sugar on the east side. Extra cinnamon on the right. Make sure the cinnamon gets spread to the edge. Do not let any sugar hit the plate. Maybe a dollop of whipped cream. What shape should that dollop be in? Asked the waitress my mother...

The Waitress
Sometimes I cry Sometimes I smile Sometimes I hide In the bathroom for a while The ketchup bottles are empty The ice buckets must be full Children scream for chicken tenders Food is fried in peanut oil Make sure to write on the ticket If someone has an allergy Or they might break out in hives And their meal will be free Which means No money for me...
