attempt the impossible
tattooed in black
cursive script
on the upper foot
of waitress at sticky
beaks cafe longford
saturday night serving
up vege lasagne
microwaved some
bits cooked edges
rawish pasta
chips and salad
declined so sliced
boiled spud un-
frozen peas
carrots that
whisper apart
cabbage with
ham surprise bits
bring your own
and they do
cans of boags
emerging from
green vinyl
zip-ups popped
into velcro stubby
holders
the menu
plastic covered
hard folded flies
off the table
of a departing diner
with door wind
waitress picks it
and puts it
sweeps plates
off table air swoosh
sending menu
floorwards again
this time staying
