PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As I sit here

In this small booth

In the corner of this diner

I look at the fast paced

Place

An wonder does it ever slow?

I even see an older waitress

Run around taking orders,

Pouring coffee,

Small talking with

Customers,

As you can simply and

Plainly see

The bags under her eyes,

The soreness of her spine and legs,

You can see the toll of waitressing

All over her body

Yet she still greets every

Customer with a

Smile and what can I get you?

In a nice, energetic tone

Even when she looks more

Exhausted than anything

She still moves to the

Beat of this fast paced

Diner

I wonder if she ever

Stops to take a break

And sit for even just

A min.
