fine dining

there's one
waiter
assigned to water.
a soldier at attention,
at the ready.
he's over there next to the post
with a giant
pitcher
of water.
i pretend to take a sip,
to make him
come over
to top my glass off.
but there's
disappointment
in his eyes
when he sees that another
pour
won't fit. for more fun
i drop my salad fork
on the floor,
which
makes them
all come running
with a clean one.
