oversight
raze
when
your
grandfather
almost
runs
you
down
in
the
parking
lot
behind
some
random
restaurant
you've
never
taken
a
chance
on
,
he
won't
apologize
for
the
oversight. he'll
just
laugh
and
hand
you
an
illustrated
list
of
all
the
things
he
thinks
are
wrong
with
you
.
beside
a
photorealistic
sketch
of
an
awkward
lunch
encounter
,
you'll
read
about
how
you
eat
too
slowly
to
satisfy
this
monster
of
a
man
.
there's
always
a
crumb clipped
to
your
lower
lip
after
you've
taken
a
taste
of
whatever
meal
is
marking
time
on
unwashed
earthenware.
he
cannot
abide
anything
that
fails
to
find
its
way
inside
your
young
mouth
.
when
next
you
two
meet
,
he
expects
you
to
wolf
down
your
food
like
a
ravenous
child
.
birds
,
fish
,
or
mice
.
these
are
your
options
.
you'll
eat
what
you
love
with
its
eyes
still
open
or
be
crushed
by
the
four
feet
of
a
compact
car
.
