could be a function of nicotine withdrawal
but i'm having really vivid memories
of the way a hamburger tasted off the grill
of a diner in my town when i was 8 yrs old
cooked by a guy w/a d.a. haircut and greek accent
in a place with a picture of telly savalas and the owner
behind the counter, right above the first dollar
that owner ever made
fries golden on the outside, mealy on the inside
and a shotglass-sized cup of coleslaw on the side
it was good
