table for two

we make reservations at the big
Chinese restaurant
off of route 7.
it's been there for ages.
always packed,
crowded, tables inches
away from one another.
red and black décor.
tassels swinging from
the gaudy chandeliers,
but the food will slay you.
the drinks are strong.
it's a hustle and bustle
place nestled in between
a post office and a hair
salon. come early, come
hungry, come thirsty.
we'll seat you soon, it
won't be long. parking
is sketchy, don't leave
anything of value in
the car. table for two,
but there is now view.
