An old man and woman sat in my section. <br />They just talk and enjoy one another's company. <br />I bring them their food. <br />They are greatly burdened by a family issue. <br />The woman and I make a joke about drugs <br />(We both Use) <br />She laughs. <br />They sit and talk more. <br />The man tells her <br />'It will all work out' <br />'It always does.' <br />She hands me 30 dollars and says <br />'Thanks for understanding earlier... <br />Some people don't get it.' <br />We all smile as I tell them goodbye. <br />Then I clean their table. <br /> <br />But we're the ones that are messed up?<br /><br />Darren Tyler Howard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/friendly-paradox/
