Breakfast Served All Day by Deborah Hauser

Breakfast Served All Day
by
Deborah Hauser

Like a train car derailed

and forgotten

beside the busy highway

pink neon splashes

off tin walls

onto asphalt road.

You can order breakfast

any time, day or night.

Hot coffee with refills

and a new day begins.

Dorcas:
Sounds like the Louie's Dale Diner Bronx, NY. Best in the world, if you live here.

Larry Schug:
This poem is metaphorically out of this world; it completely blew me away--a very subtle life lesson.
