1.
my first girlfriend
lost her virginity
in the restroom here.
2.
the drive-thru intercom
has the voice of god, but
makes only half the mistakes.
3.
the sidewalk is a poor
kid's christmas: one flip-
flop, fire sauce, napkins.
4.
in the mazda in front of me,
middle-aged men snort
meth off a parking brake.
5.
I don't know if it's any easier the longer
you're not dead - that's why God, or the
intercom, made the dollar menu.
6.
for most of us there
are worse borders we
could be running to.
