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.
