Oh Max's Deli Cafe
with your 50+ flavors of frozen yogurt
all available to fulfill my desire
for a post-savory sweet.
Oh Max's Deli Cafe
with your machine
the one that smooshes flavors
into chunks of chocolate
or vanilla
fro-yo.
Oh Max's Deli Cafe
with your friendly employees
the ones who keep their backs to me
for two minutes before turning
what do you want?
they say, smiling.
Later, at Max's Deli Cafe
when I bring my delicacy to the counter
the friendly woman with
the blue eye and the brown eye
will stare at me and say
HOW MANY FLAVORS?
I will say one
and pay my $3.15
