small-town diner
she tells us we can take
any seat we like
—JENNIFER BURD
I imagine diners to be highly bustling places from short orders very early morning to late night meals and dates and hang outs. I remember a 24 hour breakfast bar I used to frequent around 4am in the morning after nightclubbing. :-)
Now things are changing and I hope this diner is now making free take out breakfasts and lunches to the key workers such as health workers. That they can take phone and email orders for take out for the public too, to keep them just able to pay bills.
Wonderful haiku!

Here's a monostich honoring both diners, their cooks and their short order cooking, and Edward Hopper too, of course. The artist who painted loneliness and isolation.

Hopper diners the fading starlight short orders gather momentum
I've ended up doing short order cooking at home. Post-isolation I hope to show off my burgeoning skills to visiting haiku poets! One American haiku poet a while back enjoyed our cooking! :-)

How sweet to notice such natural, down-home generosity ? and to pass it on. Thank you.
