I found a bottle
of Mello Yello
under the
pinball machine
at work.
"Appetizing,"
I said as I tossed it
into the garbage can
under the till.
"Am I?"
The hot, cocky boy
asked, smirking.
"Funny,"
I should have said.
"A starving child
in China
would give up
a free lunch
for you."
But I smiled
and walked away.
He wouldn't
have understood
whether I'd said it
or not.
