hardly discouraged

always leave a good tip
he’ll be back
and wants to be appreciated
he takes advantage of the atmosphere
hardly discouraged
by the sticky table
and un-vacuumed floors
also ignoring the loud laughter
from the kitchen
after he orders what he considers
his dinner breakfast food maybe
hardly discouraged
he doesn’t pay much attention
notices some pain in his elbow instead
hoping it isn’t from falling
from words written
overload the fragile mind
the dam will burst
with all this pressure…
