Evenings at the Inn

I keep to the edges
where windows and small tables
share company
while looking out on the sea.
From that vantage
I observe new arrivals sipping expensive wine
between mouthfuls of conversation.
Being a nibbler
I relish the cheese and crackers
brought by the waitress
with whom, three years back,
I first made an agreement.
Whenever she serves me
I avert my glance from the mandatory cleavage
required of her by management. In return,
during refills of free coffee,
she relates her life story.

If I were to ask
"how does the story begin?"

Would you share?

This so sounds like you, Bob. Always a gentleman and a gentle man.

And of course, ever the observer.
