Einbahnstraße

Diner's last night music

Days pass and though it remains closed we still visit
The first one at 5, quick pass
24 with a cold beer at 2, eggs over-easy
38 buying milkshakes for three and crayons
59 is where you go after the funeral. Food you can't really taste, don't want to eat and give up after two bites. Just coffee.
75 every morning. Just coffee. Black with your cigarettes.
Tuesday nights were a Jazz trio and Thursday's and Jazz quartet. Then a fourth nite was added for Blue grass/Western music. Now it's a single guitar player on Monday nights, karoke on Friday's and heavy metal on Sunday's.
Barto mopped the floor after the door was closed and put up the notice. He rolled out the jukebox from the closet, sat down and listened. Door locked. Power out. Come Monday they won't remember the last song playing "Spare Parts II and Closing" by Waits and Weiss
