LUNCHEON DUETS OR SOLILOQUIES
(WAITER)
The waiter brings the check,
Numbers I Understand,
Know what to do.
In the kitchen, a cook,
Is stirring with a large spoon
Something unseen.
Around, pizzas served
On a platform of nickel;
Apple pie on white unadorned dishes.
I keep concentrating on what has no meaning for my life,
For she, who does have meaning,
Never acted friendly during her consumption of spaghetti.
