the vending machine.
the candy,
the cigarette,
the coke
machine.
we know how it works.
the coin
slot,
the pull of the lever.
we know
how the Snicker Bar
gets stuck
halfway
down.
the peanut butter crackers,
the pack of gum,
or Camels,
we know how to slap
the side,
to kick
at it, trying to free
what we've
paid for,
what's ours.
we know how to use
both
hands
and how to shake it hard.
to jiggle it like
a madman,
we need
these stale cupcakes now,
right now,
before we starve.
