A Day @ The Poet's Cafe
by John Kaniecki
"WHAT DO YOU
WANT!!??!!"
Rosie is far from nosy
Serving as waitress at the
restaurant
Chewing Bazooka bubble gum
with a smile
Her raw radiance
Tightly fitting finely filled
uniform
Compensates for her lack of
style
Her glossy red cheeks speak
abundantly
Strawberry Blossom - exactly
My eyes tip toe over the menu
"I'm not sure"
"I've never been here
before"
"Perhaps an extended
metaphor?"
Rosie smiles savage and
cunning
Sultry, sexually stunning
"Take it from me"
"Try a simile"
"The taste is nice"
"At an excellent
price"
Confounded by a vague
reference
Like a ship lost upon the sea
"Oh my" I cry
suddenly
It's the worst thing to say
At the Poet's Cafe
A corny cliché
So dead the corpse is but
dust
Embarrassed like cuddling
lovers discovered in lust
I surrender sorrowfully
"Just coffee for
me"
