DINER

Three eggs medium, hashbrowns, and toast
Coffee, please as the noise of dishes crash into the bus tub
"Would that be all" she would say
"Nothing else thank you" I would say
Looking at the jukebox to see what Prince song to play
"Breakfast Can Wait" will go good with these eggs
In a flash, the cook brings me a plate
The tattooed waitress refills my coffee
Will her tip go to fill in the rest of the tattoo on her neck
