The Simultaneous Occurence of True Love and Nausea at an Omaha Burger King Oct. 12, 1992

The anal-retentive Burger King attendant

Watched me bite my nails in utter horror

It always takes me much more than a fast food minute

She said "May I please take your order? Can I please take your order?"

Kim was antsy in the orangish booth

'cause it was hard and cold and she was wearing jean shorts

I said "As long as it's fast I don't care if it's food. Gimme one of them foil ashtrays

Sometimes my girl likes to smoke."

Her eyes weren't blinking so I asked her what she was thinking

Sometimes she gets so pensive like a skinny Buddha

She said "Most men are colorblind, it's a genetic deficiency

But if you guess the color of my eyes I might love you"

___ are elastic cause you're so sarcastic

Boy, who do you think you are? H.L. Mencken?

No I'm Lazarus the lucky, call me Lucky Lazarus

I just suffer from chronic meager post-high school enthusiasm

She's got a thousand thoughts tying her head in knots

And I am kin to one of them at least

I yawned to the relief of my tear ducts

and she took the straw out of my Cherry Coke and sucked the tear off my cheek

That's love to me

it occurs everyday in urban Burger Kings

Even if it's temporary

The needy can't be greedy, can they?
