Eagle arrivesand I am at oncesmall, insignificant Breath heldI am stillness basking in majesty Till ubiquitous crowcalls his cronies,chases eagle off Everything gains perspective. (Tuesdays, I borrow from Twitter @Vjknutson. Image my own.)
Cast my shadow over white banksassert presence: proud, defiant Will find beauty in deserted placesand colour in the monochrome Haunted by a Winter state of mindresolved to stretch despite chill. (Image my creation)
He fills the homewith sweetness –serenades their love –while she picks awayat every gesture,imagining subterfuge His floral wordsonly serve to pokedoubts – she readsbetween the linesof ornamental landmines He lights candlesto set a mood,but she is alreadyplanning a funeral –her wrung out heartunwilling to fall.

Going through the comments on this post, I’m having this feeling that the diners are becoming extinct in American society.
Is that true?
As for my country, we have tea cafes instead of diners. Also, roadside food vendors offering variety of items.

Still lots of diners where I live in Canada. Plenty of tea/coffee shops too. Fast food is popular.

Love the photo of the old diner. I remember a diner that we frequented when I lived in New Jersey and the food was excellent. Wow, simpler times. Sigh.

Thanks Eugi. The food here is so so, but it’s handy, and open long hours, so popular.

I remember diners as have a green formica counter with white wear patterns where customers rested their arms. And pie.

Yes. I should have shared a shot of the interior – glossy teal vinyl booths.
