The Day After Easter
HEB is a Heavy Eating Building it is one of a number of chains they have these things in Texas at least the close on Easter is a religious Holiday and no one can get eggs unless they are served them at the Church is where eye went to my surprise eye got FIVE one was a gift eye found it later on the parking lot a yellow color it stood out and mashed up flat inside my coat pocket eye wear the sleeves in the heat to keep the misquitoes from killing me the eggs from inside the Church were mostly greenish blue with hints of purple that eye love but when eye left the bus and then realized the HEB grocery was closed eye saw a Chruches Chicken in the distance and eye decided to go there to get some Chicken. A funny thing happened to me then. One thing was wrong to begin the HEB store was closed on Easter Sunday eye walked the parking lot dejected not understanding the reasons they refused me some food they close every year at this time belongs to them and then Two women drove almost over me as eye left the empty bus stop and tried to walk to Churches Chicken and then they jumped from the car and entered ahead of me to begin with Three things were wrong inside the boys were young and too young to be driving those hot rods out front and they were speaking Mexican too quickly for me to Follow them to the counter and then it happened and eye was in the twilight zone Five things were wrong for eye had tried to be a customer in a Spanish Village where no one wants to feed a White man unless he is a Mexican. Iff this was east LA eye would have the same problem BECAUSE eye am not Negro. YES it is discriminalization and it was very sad for me on Easter Sunday to be rejected they did not hurry they filled the order for the women in front of me much too slowly they placed each chicken in the box much too carefully aware that eye was waiting there to order so eye pretended to be studying the menu eye had selected my choice would have been the FISH combo eye was even going to request the Jumbo upgrade for one extra dollar and get a Coke to go with my food this is why it never happened the boys stopped talking it was just gibberish to me in Spanish and then they all ignored me and eye realized they were not going to serve me Six pieces of FIsh were missing fries were not included no COke with ice eye wanted to SIT DOWN and get the free REFILL was not included eye walked out very very dejected but kept my Five and my One Seven times was eye rejected two boys upon the sidewalk trolling all the bus stops on the low rider bycycles made famous by the gangers they looked like killers and they even spoke like tough men in the movies they said that they would GET ME and so eye hurried onto the very next bus not caring what the number was. Eight things wrong with me today was number nine things over with eye am trying to finish this so eye can go back on the bus to see about getting my important connection cord for the new monitor might be available there also at least they appear to have more of a Selection then the FOod place and Wal Mart crumbled my poor nerves gone now to Best Buy its on the loop eye hope there is somewhere there near to there to eat besides Mcdonalds or KFC BRB children of the mothers ewes that eye still love wish me luck in this Hispanic town of dust. As eye ride my San Antonio SPurless Horse the number nine April poems for NPM in God we Trust upon my dollar and my time. April MOnday is Nine.
