I recall a man with a dream,
cholesterol filled wonder
coated in breadcrumbs,
fried in a scorching heat.
His spirit fills the bucket.
Flesh and bones are on
the menu, each come with
a coke and fries. Blood brushes
the lips of the customers.
Greasy marrow slips through
stained fingers. Hits the dirty
floor. Where he used to stand.
