Golden Arches
February 24, 2022
On a hot summer day,
I make a move around 12 noon.
Done with a bike ride I arrive,
the golden arches just nigh but upon walking in it begins.
For just a moment I am blind, I could not see if I was tried.
At that moment I surmised this meal will not be what I had in mind.
With my sight gone fuzzy and lights dimmed I have to order to my chagrin. The chatter around me fades to none.
I focus on standing trying to keep away the fade to black, which one may never come back,
but all these thoughts from gold to dark, the ending gold despite what I thought.
