McNight

I choose to sit
in the arse indentation
near the deep fryer.
Your organizational skills
are what first attracted me,
after that, your visor
the way it keeps focus.
The choices are dependable –
yes, yes and yes.
I must complain to the manager
these gloves are vintage latex.
You can tell by the yellow stains,
underlying graveyard grease.
I am passing through the drive-in now,
embossed in the lights.
