NaPoWriMo, Day Twenty-Four: “Fast Food”

Fast Food

Truthfully
it tastes good,
salt and MSG

the unrivaled
marks of flavor
blossoming

on the tongue.
It’s beautiful
how well

the drive-thru
feeds hunger
with nothing,

enticement
and promises
you know

are an act
of magic
you fall for

every time.

Thanks for reading! April is National Poetry Writing Month, and this year I’m writing and publishing a poem about food each day. My 2021, 2020, and 2019 NaPoWriMo poems (about GIFs, the Fast and Furious movies, and car insurance, respectively) are still live on Medium, so check out my profile if you want more.
