i'll have the grouper

i'll have that
I tell the waiter pointing
at an item
on the menu.
yes. that's what I want.
my favorite, he says.
of everything on
this menu that's what
I would have chosen.
wait.
wait a second, you know
what.
I think i'll have that
instead, pointing
down
to the bottom of the list.
great choice again.
if not
for the first one you
picked that would have
been my choice
too.
let me bring you your
drink and some bread
and i'll be right back.
wait, wait one second.
I've changed my mind
again.
what's the catch of the day?
grouper.
that's what I want.
bring me the grouper.
is that your next favorite?
the waiter, smiles and said,
actually it's what I would
have ordered all
along. nothing quite like
fresh grouper.
