Quimica

"Tom's Diner"

I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
On the corner

I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To pour the coffee

And he fills it
Only halfway
And before
I even argueHe is looking
Out the window
At somebody
Coming in

"It is always
Nice to see you"
Says the man
Behind the counter

To the woman
Who has come in
She is shaking
Her umbrella

And Ilook
The other way
As they are kissing
Their hellos

I'm pretending
Not to see them
Instead
I pour the milk

I open
Up the paper
There's a story
Of an actor

Who had died
While he wasdrinking
It was no one
I had heard of

And I'm turning
To the horoscope
And looking
For the funnies

When I'm feeling
Someone watching me
And so
I raise my head

There's a woman
On theoutside
Looking inside
Does she see me?

No she does not
Really see me
Cause she sees
Her own reflection

And I'm trying
Not to notice
That she's hitching
Up her skirt

And while she'sStraightening her stockings
Her hair
Has gotten wet

Oh, this rain
It will continue
Through the morning
As I'm listening

To the bells
Of the cathedral
I am thinking
Of your voice...

Andof the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began...

I finish up my coffee
It's time to catch the train

El restaurant de tom

Estoy sentada en la mañana
En el restaurant dela esquina
Yo estoy esperando en el mostrador
Para que el hombre me sirva el café
Y el lo llena solo la mitad y antes
Incluso lo regaño el esta mirando afuera de la ventana
A alguien que estaentrando
‘siempre es bueno verte’’
Dice el hombre detrás del mostrador
A la mujer que a entrado
Ella esta sacudiendo su paraguas y observo
En otra dirección a medida que se besen
Con sus saludosyo finjo no verlos en su lugar
Derramo la leche
Yo abro el periódico hay una historia
De un actor que murió mientras bebia
No era lo que yo había oído
Y estoy de vuelta al horóscopo y...
