THE NEW DREAM #15:

 

i go to the fast food place

there's a one time only promotion

i don't recall

exactly

but it was something like a cheeseburger, fries, soda in paper cup with plastic lid and plastic straw, ketchup packets,

all of it huge

maybe a little too huge

because there was the one part

mostly elided

where i started opening my mouth to eat it all up

but i just kept on opening my mouth and opening it and opening it and opening it and opening it

i couldn't get enough of that opening it action

even though this was probably one of the most distressing sensations i ever experienced

i couldn't get enough of that opening it sensation

like fuck the golden crisp

opening it's where it's at

beyond the elision

i guess i finally ate the food

i stride out of the restaurant

there it is

boxy, unimpressive building

framed by concrete desolation

there's a combination vape shop/yoga studio right next door

there's the dude who talks to himself that lives rough while thousands of cars serviced by thousands of people pass him by, no fucks given

there's this incongruous patch of grass

i see this other super high frame rate version of myself grappling with yet another version of me wearing a fast food uniform, rolling around on broken beer bottle shards scattered all about that incongruous patch of grass, and i remember jokes i used to tell about mirror matches between hologram resurrections of dead celebrities, like how would a lethal finisher work between two dead hologram fuckers, that sort of thing,

and i am sipping still on my huge soda

when the restaurant explodes in spectacular slow motion

because it's a miniature

and because it really was a one time only promotion
