midnight diners
12 people
on 12 step programs
12 steps behind
12 shots ahead
11 will last the moons time to shine
11 will see number 12's car with number 12
11 feet in front of it
10 will make it home saftley
10 will see number 11 in a statistic in a PSA
10 hour shifts to make a wages worth
10 dollar bill found makes the night good
9 people a night
9 dollar checks with
8 percent tip
8 times in a row
7 days a week
7 holy sins in a sanctuary called Sal's palace
6 working since early
6 dollars hourly
6 serfs serving serfs
5 conclusions to a rough nite
4 people that see each other there more times than they're hands
3 drunk soliloquy slobbers of the service, to out speak
2 lovers maybe or siblings, familiar of the menu
1 guy in the corner making a life for each in his head
1 guy in the corner wondering what went wrong
1 guy in the corner realizing they're doing the same to him
