Indigestion

Rats!—
Another hungry 
pack of cats is 
splayed across the red line
tracks—and 
causing

quite 
the lunch 
hour back-
up—as they shovel 
down the distance 
between 
"unfinished" 
and 
"ongoing"—

Adjacent 
the long-
faced men
and stranded
women tap 
their hungry steering

wheels and 
tolerate
their sweating canines—
telling 
themselves

it's temporary—as if 

any other banquet 
wasn't.
