15 years
After 15 years of me living in this town we are finally getting a Denny’s! I’m so happy I started crying in my car
and as you wept
the fertile soil of your soul
sang in tones of happiness
as the sprouts of joy and affection
pushed a floral army up from below
the petals of diner love
vibrant in the sun of your care
the glow of a denny’s
basking the garden of your realized wishes
fifteen long years vanished in the blink of a cry
a golden future sitting snugly in its place.
