Poem inspired by Edward Hopper’s painting, New York Restaurant (1922)

 

 

 

The place is crowded

They all came to feed

She puts her fur coat on her chair

She could take off her hat, but she doesn’t dare

 

She will be up all night

In this restaurant so tight

She is listening to the people speaking

Her paramour seems to be boring

 

His clowning doesn’t make her laugh

Lots of drinks he ’s bought

And he swallows them elegantly

She wants to be free.
