the menu because it's so
dark
in this restaurant.
small pictures of the food
they serve
would help a lot.
i hold
the table candle to the thin
paper
menu,
which catches it on
fire.
i douse it quickly with
the glass
of water
that the waiter keeps
refilling after i take
one sip.
i look around at what
other people
are eating.
most of them have figured
out how to turn
the flashlight on
in their phone.
i go online
and bring the menu up.
tiny words
again, but
maybe there's a coupon
i can use.
