Today
at McDonald’s

I saw…

A woman
with a face
like the sludge
on her boots

A man spitting
into a plastic cup

A man
chastise his son
with the C word

A woman
forgotten
by hope

A backside
that never enjoys home cooking

A couple
of cracked statues

A guy talking into his phone
as if
he was alone

A woman
forgotten

by everyone

Their kids all ate happy meals
