it's bad for you, you know
that you'll regret
it later,
that it will only
temporarily fill you up.
but you're starving.
it's been a long day
and there's nothing in the fridge
at home but
bologna and grape
jelly.
you may
even get a headache
and a stuffy
nose from the MSG,
your lungs
may seize,
the grease will give you
indigestion,
the oils,
all that fried meat and rice,
noodles drenched
in an unfamiliar spice.
but what the hell,
you call the order in
and pick it up,
the plastic fork in the glove
compartment will
have to suffice as you
put the hot white box
between your legs,
eat, and drive.
