Love in a Diner at 4 a.m.

No one else was with him
Except the eyes of those who
Watched with a perverse sort of
Curiosity and jealousy because
Their pancakes never tasted so
Oh God so passionately
Sensually orgasmically
Good Good Good!
The syrup was slow in coming
Obviously not as heated as
The butter which
Slid off the pancakes onto
The plate and sort of
Coagulated there with
Stiffening pleasure.
But he didn't seem to
Mind as the syrup rather
Lolled out of the tin cup with
A teasing kind of
Slowness making him giggle then
Grunt impatiently but
When it finally came
Dripping stickily droolingly onto
The pancakes he
Caressed every bite like
A lover who is new.
The waitress in the background
Watched amused and intrigued but
Strangely satisfied with
Her jingling silver tip because
When he left he
Smiled and thanked her for
The pancakes as if
She'd served herself to be
Enjoyed as innocently and as
Purely
Human.
