i'll be your server tonight

the waiter
is too friendly, too into
his job.
he wants
to talk,
to introduce himself.
he wants
to bring you butter,
and top
of your water
after a single sip.
you know his name.
where he
went to school.
he rattles off
the menu
that you don't have to.
he tells you the specials.
before you even order
you know
his favorite
dessert,
his favorite food.
you hope he doesn't
follow you home.
