It’s 3 a.m. and your stomach is rumbling. You know only a handful of places are open. Golden arches appear on the horizon as you drive home. You wouldn’t have to get out of the car, it’s cheap and you haven’t tasted grease in days. Fuck it. You go for the fast food. You pull up, and a young squeaky voiced man hands you a burger. Little do you know that young man is a poet.
