My spoon tinkles
and finds sanctity in the mug.
I toss a dollar to the waitress
and smile at her on my way out.
Nothing.
Nothing but the blank face
I always get from that *****
I don't know why I bother
going back to that place.
As I leave, I hurt a little
and realise that
it's the only home I have.
What a ******* sorry state of affairs.
I leave the diner and turn up my collar.
The rain spots my glasses
but I'm not sure if I care.
**** could be a lot worse.
