Sticky

[MystyrMystyry]

In Joe's Diner
the air is sticky
Of greasy burger smoke
and cigarettes

The flipper's hair
and the waitress' pink lipstick smile
The tables and seats
and cutlery

The counter
and cash register
The jukebox and
television screen

The notes and coins
I receive for change
The eyes of Mr Handlebar
and the Coca Cola mirror

The yellow lino floor
with a thousand coffee spills
And soups and syrups
and sauces and slop

and tears and sorrows


I walk out

the heels of my my boots sticking

with ridiculous gravity

Ah, there are still places like that! I only go in if I see other customers eating the food. It means the survival rate is better than I would expect.

Well done. A departure from your normal fare (sic).

Impeccable imagery, I can put myself there.

Thankyou YesNo :)

Yes, they still exist in certain areas, and are probably best avoided altogether

Thanks for Wiki link - a whole history of horror!

Thankyou Haunted :)

You could put yourself there. I'd advise against it, but like cemetaries, sometimes we need be reminded ;)
