burger

 Sunday 7/10

As is too often my wont - I wait until low sugar levels course thru my veins. I buy a Shake Shack burger and fries and wolf it down like a junkyard hound. Three couldn’t-be-having-a-better-time-of-it teenagers are scooping out free ice cream from their cart. They give me a third scoop - one more than they do to the three people in front of me. I wonder why. Age, build, slipshod benevolence? Hot time summer in the city. My neck is gritty, my walk slow.
