PANCAKE HEAVEN by Irving Barry

Pancake Heaven

In pancake heaven
the waitress smiles
like you’re the only one
while a homemade mix
of bygone music plays:
Louis Armstrong,
Lady Day, blazing.

Coffee arrives in
its own sweet time
pancakes too
golden brown
buttered and beautiful,
thirsting for syrup
like me.

Irving Barry
