now with virtual grilling

Jon Nakapalau

the drive-thru menu

has a never ending burger
grilling plump and juicy

and i watch a homeless man
walk by it

and wonder if it makes him hungrier
seeing this image

pushing his cart
through the parking lot

will he dream of burgers and childhood tonight?

  • Comment from author about the poem: Some drive-thru menus now show the food being cooked - thought of how it must feel to walk by them on a cold night when you are hungry.

    Such an emotive write. Nobody should be hungry in our world.
