When he orders a meal, he slowly raises his head
The waitress comes into focus quite slowly
And when he finally orders, no words are said
But there’s a voiceover by Peter Coyote

If there were an effect that bore my name
Jittery out-of-focus closeup shots
The subject drifts in and out of the frame
Narration by….Don Knotts

Throughout November I am writing a poem every day as part of an effort to raise funds for The Center For New Americans. If you like the poems (or even if you don’t) and would like to support this fantastic organization, please follow this link. Thanks.
