WHAT I WOULD LIKE
david erlewine
I would like a cheeseburger with red onions, a thin tomato slice, and crispy fries on the side. A five-year-old could order this.
364 days ago, shortly after my wife left (“all pep talked out”), I vowed to cure my stutter in one year. My manifesto was notarized, draconian consequences explicitly set forth.
A true professional, the notary read and signed without moving either eyebrow.
The waitress now openly stares. My eyes cloud.
I point at a blurred entry and all but throw the menu into her hand.
Tomorrow will arrive quickly.
