Somewhere off the highway<\/p>\n
In those darkest hours<\/p>\n
Before the dawn<\/p>\n
To the Diner’s light<\/p>\n
She was drawn<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Her heart tattered<\/p>\n
Her body weary<\/p>\n
Her soul torn<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Just a coffee, please”<\/p>\n
‘You want cream and sugar hun?’ Called the waitress, whose soles were worn.<\/p>\n
“Yes ma’am, extra if you would please”\u00a0 she said. Pulling a notebook from her pack.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She sat for hours, pen in her hand<\/p>\n
Coffee rings on her paper<\/p>\n
Change, in the air<\/p>\n
