Hi Waiter, please get the cheque... ...
and the coffee, and, a box -- I'd want to
take the leftover with me... ...
"how long will you be here, ma'am?"
"until after Christmas", I said, to the stranger whom
I've only met once at the same restaurant
I've been having happy hour at noon,and
a glass of Bloody Mary has sent me to the moon
but I saw the desert sun
rising at midnight from the bottom
of the glass in my hand -- oh Jesus... ... Bloody. Mary.
