Cheap Restaurant

Sitting on the edge of my seat.
Biting my nails. Waiting to hear
the sound. An echo of some sort.
In the quiet stillness of the air.
Children play behind me, but I hear
nothing. Everything has disappeared.
It's only you and me, two burnt
hamburgers and an order of fries.


Go on. Say it. I see it in your eyes.
The crinkles in your forehead. Misty
beads of sweat down your neck. Signs
of great distress. Please. Tell me.
I need to hear it. The waitress
will come soon with the check and
I fear the chance will be lost with
the scribbling of your pen.
