Oklahoma State University Cafeteria (1986)

i sit and wait in the university cafeteria
for my coffee to cool. "and what about that
good 'ole boy from midwest city? he was kinda
slow." two overweight businessmen
wear ugly brown ties. ugly
okies and leering foreigners park in the cafeteria
to watch the fatassed coeds carry their heaping
salad platters. the ugly
men have notebooks graphpaper and big calculators
strewn about their tables.
the middle easterners lounge with empty milk cartons and
spilled wild rice. when they go to class
they occupy the front row and
study most dilligently while at home in the dorm.

here in the cafeteria, they watch
american bacteria socialize
