she swallowed
down
a big mac
chasing it with
a pint of oil
then she
said to me

i just updated
my facebook page
i wrote
god bless america
happy birthday flag
and if you don’t like
the united states
you better leave

then she wiped
her hands
on a mickey mouse
sweatshirt
and belched
toward the setting
sun

after that
she dropped me
off at the bus stop
and i sort of lost my
appetite
for the whole
flag day thing.
