I was drunk on wine
Sitting in a fast food dive slash gas station
Under an unction black sky,
Ordered a cheeseburger,
Stood back and scoured
The rainbow plains of shelves, fridges and florescent lights.
There, the till ladies were dancing and singing
(As they like to do)
And a man walked in next to me.
Piercing sweat punctuated his white shirt
And he looked at the till ladies,
Who were still singing and dancing.
“Two people just died right there,” he said,
Pointing to a flurry of ribbon lights
Behind some bushes on the nearby offramp.
“How can you sing when two people just
Died right there?”
A pause.
I picked up my cheeseburger and walked home.
