In This Corner

by Jeffrey Parren

In the red corner
we have
the kitchen staff

confined
to a small cooking area
remotely close
to a burning inferno

constantly calling
for items in need

cooking food orders
for numerous tables

and answering to Chefs
who don't necessarily
speak their native language.

In the blue corner
we have
the wait staff

confined
to repeating themselves all night
remotely close
to telling someone to kiss their ass

constantly calling
for items in need

taking food orders
for numerous tables

and answering to patrons
who don't necessarily
speak their native language.

A recipe for disaster?

No one knows!

Though
it's sure to be...

a knockout.
