dreary morning in a truck stop off I-70

 
 
 
 
doughnuts made by  
the sick hands of
dirty angels
 
doughnuts given the
names of long dead
movie  stars:
 
the Gable
the Bogart
the Monroe
the Dean
 
asp poison would taste
better
 
go to restroom  
 
wash hands
wash face
 
wash off the human
race
 
nothing left here but
coffee, cream, sugar,
the music of the spoon  
against the sides of
the cup and one
last taste
