queen of the diner

in a fur coat,
white as snow, with pearls
around her thick neck,
the woman eats at the bar.
drinking a mimosa,
her white Cadillac
out front.
a stack of real estate
cards next to her
pack of cigarettes.
she is the queen
of the breakfast buffet,
mixing business
with pleasure, saying
hello, good morning,
how are you to anyone
that passes her way.
