Take for instance, the moment you enter,
haunted by eyes that judge from a distance,
egocentric, staring, glaring, seething,
coldness and cruelty emanate dank,
obligatory smiles, paid to act nice,
lethal, petty, without sense or meaning,
dismal faces, first thing in the morning,
negligible, laughable, curious,
engaged in mundane affairs, diner food,
simpleminded before complexity,
surface hidden helpless beneath a mask,
ordinary, everyday, loveable,
familiar to family and friends, others
simply matter as much as flies, swatter
terrifyingly held, nonchalantly,
restless before others they never met,
anxious to act within set protocols,
needless to say, they know their customers,
guaranteed to please regulars they know,
eventually, anyone qualifies,
reasonable people act without guile,
sugarcoat facts until they care no more.
