dark afternoon
a waitress
folds napkins  

 

Stephen

​

soup spoons
clinking in the sink

                             

Michael

​

the busboy
flicks his cigarette
towards the stars                                  

 

Stephen

​

no tip
from the fat cat
in the Cadillac                                      

 

Michael

​​

a vagrant stops
to smell the coffee                              

 

Stephen

​

silent snowfall—
the OPEN neon
blinks off
