La Provençal

No longer a fan of French cuisine
I avoid my favorite restaurant.
I wouldn't know if the outside

tables have been folded or replaced
or if they still serve the hot crepes
covered in béchamel sauce.

Last time I dined there, Albertine,
the waitress who always recommends
the salmon béarnaise, gave me

the wonderful news that you were
seeing someone new and had just
given birth to a lively baby boy.

Can you believe my arrogance?
...to ask if she had any idea
what you named the child?
