Paying Lazy Attention in a Diner

five workers in all.
owner on down:
manager, cooks,
a waitress.

all there to serve me.

Lone Customer,
drinking beer in a
mainly pizza joint.

I glance up
from my glass while
salt-bidden bubbles settle
and see:

old woman looks
in from the 'walk through
the pane at the
menu
pasted there.

she moves on, having rejected.

she's back!
will she decide to accept what's
offered?
but no. she's off again.

silly bitch;
food is food.
