Off to the George Diamond Steakhouse

Jenene Ravesloot

Off to the George Diamond Steakhouse,
just the two of us, with mother sick in the
hospital—

sometimes three times a week to dine
on bowls of chilled lettuce wedges,
the house’s special pink salad dressing,

charbroiled steaks cooked by the chef
in the middle of the restaurant’s dining
room, a side of baked potatoes lathered

with sour cream, butter; heaped dinner
rolls in a bread basket, Coke for me,
a dry martini with a speared pearl onion

for dad while Walter Keane paintings
stare at us. My Mary Jane shoes hover
above the soiled red carpet.

One last drink: his manhattan, a red cherry
for me; a walk down Wabash Avenue at
9 pm, the long ride home on the ‘L’,

us looking up at a few stars that remind
me of the glowing eyes of those painted
kids in black wood frames.
