She worked in confortable shoes
with thick soles, polished in hearts
of lovers that beg not to be forgoten
At my table I sat with coffee
three day growth of whiskers
a full collection of anger filled words
A skinny kid with acne scared skin
plunging stolen quarters into a
juke box full of yesterday's songs
And the waitress smiled and winked
seeing my nerves lying on the table...
knew her power over me
At the Cafe of Broken Dreams

A poem as sad as yesterday's song. Very poignant. Great write, Joe! Warm regards, Sandra
