In an inexpensive bar,
A girl stands behind
The counter. Waiting
For customers to
Place their orders.

Every single night
Is the same. Like the
Other nights, a man
Stood in front
Of the counter.

She asked the usual
Question, “May I know
Your order, please?”
The man answered,
“You.”

But she was indifferent,
Instead she showed him
Their menu. He smiled
And left. And she was left
Again in the humdrum.

The next night,
Nobody noticed that
The girl behind the
Counter has been replaced.
They were never interested.

No one ever thought
That the girl last night
Is now in a casket.
Listed as the fifth victim
Of a maniac serial killer.
