Kenneth DiMaggio

So tough was Marie
that she could
serve while singeing
any sass from the drunks
in a switchblade steel
diner whose jukebox
anthologized
trucker-twanged-
heartbreak that
never seemed more
broke than in men
at three a.m
first asking for marriage
then a date and finally
forgiveness from a young
woman who did not want
to know what these
drunks did when they
were bad boys to
women and the more cold
and cruel the more she made
in tips and by mid August
before leaving for college
Marie found herself
forgiving men after
seeing what they were truly
like at 3 a.m.
—before a woman
—because it is only
to women
—that men can confess
