Value Menu
In the last crisis
when your family needed
money,
time,
empathy,
anything,
your name was at the bottom
of the To Call list.
So you could sit back
with comments like,
“Yeah, that bites,”
knowing someone else
stepped up to solve
the day’s problems.
You’re the screw-up.
People don’t expect anything
from you
knowing you
stretch yourself
just twisting your mind
around your curly fries.
Yeah, that bites.

There’s a few different interpretations running through my mind with this one, some of them sympathetic, some of them castigating… I’ll have to come back to this one, I don’t know how I feel about the subject of the piece. Food for though.
