I was going to
community
College taking a not-so
Full load of
Classes
I worked at
A fast food
Restaurant
They stuck me on
French fries with a
Promise that I’d be
Promoted to burgers in
6 mos.
William was
The shift
Boss
He had a thick
Chinese accent and when
He spoke you could see
A light brown film
covering
His teeth
He resembled a bulldog
That had run head-first
Into a freight
train
He barked orders,
telling
Us to hurry with the
Burgers, fries and
Cokes
And to get a
Mop on
Aisle one
I quit that stupid
Job and went on to
Security guard work
Yesterday I got off
Work and was walking
Down the street in my
Stupid security guard
uniform
And I saw
William
He had a child
In his arms and a
Woman at his side
He wore a sheriff’s
Uniform with a .45
At his side
I said
Hello
He didn’t
Remember
me
His accent was gone,
His teeth were
Perfectly white
Told him I must
Have mistaken
Him for someone
else
And i
Did
