her blue eyes kept lowered as she found a table alone, she has on very
large black headphones that are plugged into her ipod
three rough old dudes are drinking miller lite and laughing about something
they are worn out from working in this brutal heat all day
a brown dog trots by on the sidewalk hoping for scraps by the back door
the old cook feeds him twice a day
the waitress comes with my order
chicken fried steak, black eyed peas, green beans, jalepeno cornbread
she pours me a fresh glass of sweet ice tea
i thank her and she walks away
I cross myself, say a blessing
bon apetit
