Once through the door
The maze begins
I navigate tables
Of people with friends
I duck a waitress
Who puts her tray higher
Looking back I see
Her plates are on fire
Brush the sweat from my brow
Danger averted
Those plates plus my head
Sure would have hurt
On I go
Following the maitre d
We pass a table
It interests me
Three men sit
They talk as they chew
One from Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru
Finally my table
I say “That was easy.”
“Actually, it is rocket science.”

Let Your Daughter Be a Pirate
Let your daughter be a pirate
