PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A congregation of early birds line in then 

flock around menus

who must wait to be waited on

as they chew on the daily this and that

of whatever it is in their life that needs jawing,

A full menagerie of coffee cups

expel fresh vapor

lined with a productive go-getter aroma

that will get you up and over any hump,

A popular sound I can't make out

comes from a crowd all squawking about

it's inaudible to everyone else

but neccessary in social settings,

It lets me know I'm not alone

even when I'm dining for one

and I reserve that right to be still

with other parties of one who may come,

An orchestra of silverware scratching plates

is accompanied by a bus-cart of dishes rattling through

and I swear to god

it might be a masterpiece to only me,

I hate the mornings I'll admit

but when I enter a mom and pop eatery

my heart explodes out of my chest

and onto a plate

Order up!
