Surely He Wont Be Staying

ten million people are at this restaurant mone of them look younger than a hundred and ten I hear coughing, wheezing, spitting smelling old people nursing home smells my girlfriend chose this place. she is seventy-six, five years older than I am. I think this is why this place appeals to her. if you order today’s special, they throw in a free piece of pie. a new guy walks in. Surely he won’t be staying. He looks under fifty. he takes his lunch to go. good choice.
