Kentucky Fried Chicken in "Off the Highway", USA

My friend recommended that I try Kentucky Fried Chicken
So when I passed one on the highway I pulled into the parking lot
My friend recommended trying the Crispy Chicken
So I waited on line

I told my friend I'd call him back

Theres a group of young men who talked loudly to each other
As an act, for those around, I pretended to be with them
The quiet one

They were talk loudly
and I felt like I was with them
lonely and resenting

I sat at a high table, overlooking the eating area
My friends were still on line
There was a group of white people sitting in the corner
No one was talking to each other

I didn't think they were together
But they were
from toddlers to old men
After the first drumstick I realized they were talking
quietly
the quiet ones

I finished my food and left, nauseous

I walked outside for the length of a basketball court
before I turned around and walked back
I dumped my Mountain Dew in a zig zag motion
Just outside the door
In the snow

Because it looked just like piss
