The Rox City Grill

In Roxboro's heart, where dreams softly flow,
Resides Rox City Grill, where stories find their glow,
The menu, a canvas, with its greasy delight,
Eggs, biscuits, and gravy, in the morning's tender light.

Sausage and bacon, sizzling in the pan's warm embrace,
Pancake stacks soaring, a comforting space,
Syrup like molasses, butter's golden skill,
Dripping and caressing, at Rox City Grill.

Here, good people gather, their stories to share,
In a changing world, where they sometimes despair,
Their lives an uncertain journey, in this vast terrain,
Seeking solace in the diner's warm, comforting reign.

Pancakes, like clouds, rise airy and light,
Blueberries by their side, a touch of sweet insight,
Syrup flows like a river, butter's gentle spill,
A brief escape they savor, at Rox City Grill.

They come for a moment, to find their own grace,
Amidst life's challenges, in this sacred space,
In the heart of Roxboro, where souls find their will,
At Rox City Grill, where dreams hold still.

So, step inside, take your place, and feel the thrill,
At Rox City Grill, where hearts heal and fulfill,
In this ode to resilience, we seek to instill,
The beauty of their journey, at Rox City Grill.
Author's Note
I'm working in Durham and Roxboro, NC frequently over the last year. This little diner has given me comfort and a great start to often long working days.

I thought the Fast Food poetry competition would be the perfect moment to honor this little small town diner.
