I met the weinermobile off I-76

exit 247, you were the most divine appetizer

State College, I am no longer starving

 

I learnt love in locomotion

a pilgrimage of pulverized pork

nestled between Henderson and Burrowes

 

a sizzling cornucopia

luring me into its marmalade maw

vienna sausage, poppyseed bun, pickles, mustard — hold the relish

 

I wonder how much of the world it has tasted

in that same way I am so full,

so far from where I belong

 

Oscar Mayer knew something of hunger

that you can never really come home

but you can always enjoy a shitty hot dog
