New Eden: A Tale of the Drive-thru


v.

 

Combo after combo, my feathers taper off,

nametags, plastic bags

catch wafts of grease in Alonepolis—

saturated, the street is a tire, revolutions

 

tread a path to the speaker box.

 

Can I get an apple core for 99 cents?

Can I get an apple core for 89 cents?

Can I get an apple core for 59 cents?

Can I get an apple core for 39 cents?

Can I get an apple core for 29 cents?

Can I get an apple core for 09 cents?

 

a leftover appleseed, shiny and dark?
