Doesn't get any better than this

Meditating at iHop  


Stomp off your snow at iHop
Follow her this way past booths
By the black ladies with eyes

Order decaf, a plate of fries
Note the heating ducts, syrups
Uniformity, rhythm and orange

Plug in at iHop to meditate
Regard the breakfast photos
Everything lucky and consequential

She brings the copper kettle
You are feeling calm and relaxed
Outside scrape the snowplows

Ketchup, Equal, iHop
Squeeze those muscles, good job
It is as if—you are there

Each fry slick and hot and cut
And now I’d like you to bring your
Attention back to the body

Everyone just fine at iHop
That’s it, breath deeply, pour
As much as you wish

Make two tight fists, that’s it              
When you meditate at iHop
It is as if--you are there
