to cute to let go
to cute to let gomid-afternoon shadows
small italian restaurant
in nowheresville strip mall
i like going there
service is great
place is quiet
food arrives hot
but the best is-
what you hear
an 80 something couple
lunching behind me
taking their time
at 3 PM - yes
the young italian waiter
was slim and handsome
enthralling the elderly woman
overly perfumed
floral scattered dress
husband proper with tie
she flirted with the waiter
he joked - she laughed
it was nice
hubby stayed quited
with his desert and espresso
finally they got up
to pay at the register
leaving me as the lone
customer as the shadows
hastened
the waiter came to the register
and she just could not resist saying
" you are just so cute i cant let you go"
it was nice - again
she was happy
the waiter was happy
her husband was happy-
that his wife was happy
even i was happy for just
being there at that particular time
