    faved salad bar at a local mall

    Tryptosalad

    Tryptosalad

    People have to eat I guess

    And some of them go to a place called pluto’s

    It’s a salad sandwichy type of place

    The décor is kind of like the jetsons meet kmart

     stand in line to order and with each turn the rest of the line waits 6 feet behind

    as if it’s an ATM...stand back, she’s about to order.

    The hot item is a salad with your choice of 7 toppings.

    Mushrooms, cheese, croutons, beets,peppercini,tomato walnuts

    You want meat with that?

    No.

    A lady at a nearby table is chanting That’s not my food, that’s not my food,

    But it has to be, cuz you watch the salad drones put it together and hand it to you

    The guy next to her is talking about the swine flu…

    It’s h1n1 she says

    It’s the same thing,

    They predict there will be an outbreak somehwere in the northen hemisphere he says.

    No Shit?

    A baby begins to cry, scattered voices rise

    The line gets backed up

     suddenly the place takes on a heated claustrophobic rush

    ……

    Make that salad to go and don’t forget the bread.

    hey you very well done to take time to see. whats going on around you. people need to slow down and also take a look around. and not get so dam excited.liked much

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
