New Poetry by Donal Mahoney

Fast Food at Midnight

A drunk comes into McDonald’s

staggers to the counter

is waited on by a young lady 

who looks like his wife

years ago when he proposed.

Drunk says nothing, just stares,

mouth agape, until the 

manager hustles forward,

sensing a sale

leans over the counter 

says to the drunk,

“Want fries with her?”
