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
It is as if--you are there
