A bold new sign casts a wide net
for the lonely or hungry traveler
or at loose ends, like myself
arriving punctually at 6pm<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The folded tables and chairs
opened like arms awaiting a hug
The slaw, salads (bean and potato) dressed in their Sunday best<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pizza is late but on its way
so Grace is quickly offered
as appetites sharpen in anticipation
of its triumphant entrance – The boxes still warm
set out with the ease of much practice<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
filling paper plates and choosing chairs
filling the tables with avid chewing
and layers of stories that meld
like lasagna familiar and comforting <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
I go back for seconds
Then a casual shuffle occurs
As sweets appear
The coffee pot presiding<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
surfaces are swept clean
in preparation for the final course
Banana grams<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
as players joke and poke
and apply themselves to their puzzles
with great concentration<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
has been gifted the opportunity
And at an unspoken cue
like a flock lifting in synchronicity <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The room once again holding its breath
as we walk out to our transport
filled up and content <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
