Waitress travels time

Balancing a tray--
your legs as smooth as ever.
Don’t you see
how time has thinned my hair?
All these places
where my skin is used to creasing?
I apologize for staring.
And yet you bravely come from 1990
to take the syrup from my table.
Why come now,
when all I want is breakfast
and you have lost your name?
