AT A FAST FOOD OUTLET

AT A FAST FOOD OUTLET

we thought

the Universe

would
notice us

but it flew
straight past

straight past

         didn”t stop
for fries
sodas
    anything

no interest
in food
    reading the menu
making a purchase
paying
     for a meal

blitzed through
the drive through

no standing
     on ceremony
waiting for anyone

this we all
    saw
   at the fast food outlet

the Universe screaming by
must have
    thought us unreal

a crazy
hallucination
