Ode to the Blond at Burger King

Liam Spencer

There you were
So beautiful and young, vibrant
Fed up with bullshittery.
Your voice and eyes saying it all.
Blond, funky hair, hip and happening.
Playing the games and sick of it all.

Our eyes met. Understanding.
Seeing it all, including barriers. Untrusting.
Your blush and mine said it all.
Your words met with
Your manager’s distain.
Heavy set coworker glaringly angry.

I returned the next day.
Somehow you knew,
Even before I placed the order
Your voice smiling through
Same pressures stifle.

Weeks go by and I look for you
Getting glares from heavy women and managers
As I glare back, demanding more ketchup packets
They got to you, or so I thought.
“Here you are, sir.”
As they look on, angry.

I thought you lost interest.
I stopped going.
Then, without managers,
“HEY! My favorite customer!”
I was taken aback, but
Our eyes met deliciously again.
Delicious indeed.

I scheme for your number
To bring you a rose
To see you glow
To hold your hand
To feel your breath on my bare shoulder

You’re so beautiful.
