OPEN
A bald man with
a beard like Santa Claus
Coffee?
Please.
Ya need a menu?
Please.
Stares from
men and women
with glasses and
overalls and
straw hats.
Chalkboard green walls
plastered with
all kinds of
Elvis.
One by one
their gaze shifts
just a little.
*Who's that youngster
in the corner
with the hat?*
