Tom's Diner

I am sitting in the morning in the diner On the corner. I am waiting at the counter For the man to pour the coffee. He fills it only halfway and before I even Argue, he is looking out the window. It's somebody coming in. "It Is always nice to see you," said the man Behind the counter to the woman who has come In. She is shaking her umbrella. And out the other way, they are kissing their Hellos, and I'm pretending not to see them and Instead I pour the milk. All this rain, it will continue through the morning As I'm listening to the bells of the cathedral. I am thinking of your voice a time before The rain began, And it's time to catch the train.
