Downtown diner alone
I'm here all the time
It brings me peace

I wave to people whose
Names I'll never know
They are like me here
For the same reasons

We are a community
Each individual
Sharing a place
Living together

I flirt, cute waitress
When it's nice outside
I'll walk her home
Sometimes, tonight

At home, I look
At her number
I never call
Part-time friends

Old girlfriends
And cool wine
Never spirits
Still reclusive

I'll sleep, maybe
Later today
It's late or early
Seems hard to tell

Sundays I wait
Worry about things
To come weekly
Long working days

I'll come back home
Coffee and waitress
My never friends
At my diner alone

Greenville Diner

I can picture this quiet evening with the shadows beginning to surround the lights of the diner. Thanks for sharing that picture. There's just something about diners.

I love this poem. Good flow, great word choices. Just a great poem. It should be in a book.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
