call of the North

that four forty five a.m.
impulse Mexican order
was not worth it. first of all
they kept calling me
to tell me they were
almost there (which was
a complete, shameless lie) just
when I had decided
to rest my eyes on the couch
for a second. secondly, final delivery
(after the many false alarm
phone calls) took place
fully one and a half
hours after the initial order
was placed. thirdly and really
most importantly, the food
wasn’t very good. I regret this
whole experience, La Norteña,
and soon, so will you.
