Waitress
Appropriate to find her
in a town where directions
are better found on
Battleship game boards
than on maps.
This woman made me
miss the restaurant business,
which I hate.
She's opened resorts,
diners, she'll
close them down
if she can,
hustling with a
soldier's march nobody hears
for the clanking
of wine bottles
she delivers to tables like babies.
Smaller than the coat stand,
she turns tables into trays,
could balance the national budget
on one hand
while the others hand out checks
she makes you think she has
no time to pick up.
