Variation on an American M. D.’s Iconic Poem-cum-Meme

GTimothy Gordon

This is just to say I have ingested
the deep-fried-fast-food-fare
curing under Miracle Mile heat lamps
for hours on end possibly days

stashing packets of salsa and seasalt
while those on half-hour lunch break
queueing the wagon-train drive-thru wait

forgive me
they were unresisting
so sere & so formidable
so quintessentially American
