Desert Waitresses Waitresses who came to the desert when They were young women say to one Another smoking at the bar after closing Blatantly breaking the new manager’s rules They don’t know how much longer They can do this it’s not the trays though Those have done their shoulders in But the surly men who drive out from LA In muscle cars they can hear coming miles Away with some thing they found On the internet they want their drinks And food fast like they’re used to having it Actually turns out they know the girl He is with today because they were her Once out here for the first time from Orange County or based on the looks Of this one Santa Monica they know Such girls are beginning to wonder Whether to tell him they’re going To the restroom but never come back
