where's the bathroom?

by accident
i took a bite of a plant based
hamburger.
i chipped
a tooth
on the hard cardboard
concoction
formed from
the shredded likes
of kale
and barley, legumes
and dirt.
it looked like a burger
from Five Guys,
the same
shape,
the same color, but 
no matter how much
ketchup
i put on it, or lettuce,
or onions, or a slice
of tomato,
and no matter how
sugary sweet the bun
was that held
it all together,
it sent me running 
down the hall
for the bathroom.
