Check please?

After my meal
i peeled off the plastic wrapper with
red and yellow Chinese lettering
broke the cookie in half
made with flour
sugar
vanilla
and sesame seed oil

i read it quietly to myself at the table

"A distant relationship is beginning
to look more promising."

my lungs exhaled

i sank in my chair a bit

and just thought to myself

Goddammit


just in case you were wondering my lucky numbers are
"14, 16, 19, 37, 47, 49"
