Alameda, CA, 2014
Atmosphere a golden glow
scented with maple syrup,
Jackie Wilson singing
Your Love is Lifting Me Higher;
at tables and booths, couples
and families making plans,
chuckling at private jokes;
waitresses bustling, balancing
plates, all kindness and smiles,
calling everyone Hon;
solitaries
at the counter, bonded
into momentary family
by waffles and love.

Ah, a moment captured in time – and perfectly.
Thanks, Kate, I love that place. And as luck would have it, I’m going lo-carb, so I don’t see any of Ole’s waffles in my future 😦 But I got a poem out of it, and that’s worth a lot!
Willow, you take the ordinary and everyday and see the significance in it..not with a camera but with a poet’s eye. This is fine indeed.
John, thanks so much. Your encouragement means a lot to me.
