Hipsters Love Brunch
For ten minutes or forty-five
We will queue until seated
At tables that wobble
Worn but solid booths
Check in on Facebook
Public orgy of mastication
There are more than fifteen ways
To arrange dead animals on a plate
Snap a photo for Instagram
It is a beautiful thing
Our bellies stretched with
French toast and real maple syrup
Sausages, eggs, and milkshakes
Omelets, homefries, and pancakes
Any remaining corners
Topped with bottomless coffee
Don scarf and fedora and stalk it off
In a few hours sushi
Dumb Supper
- A clean table.
- Linens smoothed, crisp ecru.
- White plate placed between monogrammed sticks of silver.
- Napkins artfully arranged.
- Candles lit.
- Too many wine glasses.
- Drunk already.
- No guests.
