in another place

the waiter is busy, but

distracted, he's in a daze as he goes
from
table to table,

to booth and bar
with drinks and food

on trays.

the wrong dish comes, the wrong
wine.
he drops a fork.
he spills.

he's forgetful.
not there.

awake, but there is something
in his
far off

stare.

he's in a place you've known
before.

who hasn't been there?
