Clairvoyant Child
john clare stokes
There we sat in Huddle House
Booth three next to the register
Since it was busy and the waitress
Named Betty had just taken
Our order for our MVP's
When to my left side
In booth four the little
Girl in Exorcist way
Turned her head
And with a voice
Unmistakable from
Far away slowly
Said pappa and in
The moment our
Eyes connected
Her mother scolded
And she turned and
Cried then returned
To her exuberance
Saying uh oh at the
Fallen glass
Forgetting the stranger
In booth three
As Betty filled
Everyone's coffee.
