The Hawk Kitchen Outpost

4:15 am

Last night Eye met a Texan

Debutante

(at least She looked like One)

Who wore pearls

& likes camping —

She was w Her Daughter

Who ate only a salad

that I could see

while She asked Me

about my burger

measly

& a supposed giant mozza stick

which Eye had pictured

looking phallic

butt which arrived

as a flat brown square

not hot enough

& when I got up to pay

I had something stuck

between My 2 Front Teeth

so My Good-bye Smile

was stilted
