“I am sitting in the morning
at the diner on the corner”
Tom's Diner
Solitude Standing (1987)
Kontext: I am sitting in the morning
at the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
for the man to pour the coffee
and he fills it only halfway
and before I even argue
he is looking out the window
at somebody coming in.
