I don't know her

I can't stop looking at her
describing out loud the veggie burgers
as extraordinary
aggressively insisting they monetize
"you could make millions in the freezer section"
she said to no one
recycling or trash
she surveys her tray
and hobbles off in heels too big
jeans loose and tight
she's cute

I'm a spy
by accident
thought the kid I was picking up
wouldn't be at the same restaurant
a half-hour before
whoops

how to describe the drag
holding my laptop in my lap
cause no dry surface in the one bathroom
entire shopping center

they really meant it when they said
unsweetened lemon

kid and friend whisper
I imagine she's saying
"I don't know her"
and I feel nothing bad
