Waffle House Romance



I dampened a napkin
and dabbed
at the corners of your mouth.
You always get your face dirty when you
eat.
You got change for a dollar and played Sheryl Crow on the jukebox;
The song that reminds
you
of me.
You ordered another vanilla coke.
I asked for an extra lemon.
You
dropped your cigarette while you were trying to light it.
Your foot kept tapping mine
       under the table.  
You said it was accidental but we both know better.
Your hair stuck out on the sides             and your fingernails were clean.
What did we talk about,

in our booth?
