Open All Night

We never close….
But sometimes we have
a hard time opening.

Night day
Day night
Hours are flexible.

The music we play
Is only intended
To irritate the customers.

Linoleum floors
Waitresses on skates….
This is a nation!

Real malteds
And a twist contest….

My grandfather cut
Jackie Coogan’s hair.
Shook hands with
Teddy Rosevelt.

Sitting at the counter
At Walgreen’s with
My mother…sipping
A Green River.

The brakes on her Rambler
Went out and we crashed
Into the back of a car….
Big surprise….the doors
Were always falling off.

It goes on like this
…forever….
more coffee?
