Waitress

Working class woes

The waitress pours you coffee and wonders if she

couldn't get pretty far gone before anyone noticed

You're on the phone and she remembers she hasn't

called her mother in at least a couple months

And her husband's love has

dulled to a steady transparent respect

Once even she felt so alone that she

kissed an old friend just to know again

But you don't really care that she

dreams alone, do you

If only you were that kind

of person people cry to

The waitress pours you coffee and

wonders just how far she could really get
