Jorge Luis Borges vs Burger King Pornography
I
There is no one in him
behind his face
as he steps toward the other
in gentle mockery of himself
a man with gray eyes and gray
beard, lying amidst the odor
of the animals.

She unwraps the hamburger to reveal
another hamburger wrapper
wrapped around another hamburger
wrapper she unwraps to reveal another
hamburger wrapper wrapped around
another hamburger wrapped.

in a stable which is almost in the shadow of the new
stone church in our dreams, the story of a broken
and scattered god from the twilight of day

After having razed the garden
and profaned the chalices

Have it your way
hold the pickle
hold the lettuce special
orders don't upset us
all we ask is you let us do it
your way
