welcome to mcdonalds, may i take your order?

by c h an e l - Virgo

they always use the same rehearsed line
they never change the same old script
with their red visors and plastic grins
i wonder if they ever thought about being more
what plans did they have for their future?
and when they're typing in my orders
retrieving cash from the same register theyve used 
for ten years
with little pictures of their family attached
and hearts and trinkets that remind them
everything hasnt gone so sour
that someday they could be the person waiting on the other end
listening to the same rehearsed line

welcome to mcdonalds, may i take your order?
yes,
id like a sprite
and a farewell 
ive moved on from flipping-burgers-and-handing-out paper-bagged-happy-meals-only-to-find-that-the-same bitchy-lady-comes-back-and-tells-me-i-forgot-the- ketchup...
my tip is to move on

as she snatches the sprite and leaves her worn visor on the ground...a cry of freedom spreads like rapid fire from her mouth

mcdonalds SUCKS!
