they've widened the doors

unusually hungry, i

stop by I hop

early in the morning.

i see that they've widened

the doors,

double doors now

to allow

for entry.

the plates are bigger too.

they've reinforced

the floors

because of the weight.

there's a conveyor

belt of food.

i see a pyramid of eggs

and waffles,

pancakes too

next to a barrel of whipped

cream. there's

a gas station pump full

of maple syrup.

i hear the sizzle of bacon

and sausage

as animals are slaughtered

in the kitchen.

the waitress

puts a bib around me

and loosens my

belt as i go to my trough

to order

a number two.

two eggs, bacon, toast

and diet juice.
