I. As he finished taking the last customers order in the restaurant,
Jon quickly clocked out.
He flew into the kitchen door
and clawed the jacket from his coat hanger.
Happy as can Be leaving an 8 hour shift his manager shouts,

Feeling like he had just found buried treasure,
Jon instantly snatched the envelope
from the managers hand
and thanked him.
Then Quickly darted out the door like a bullet.
The door whooshing behind him
slow as a turtle.

II. The hurry was real
because his father had been waiting centuries
for him in the parking lot of the new Chick-fil-A job.
Calm as ever jon's dad greets him
and asks how his day at work was.
not mentioning that he had been
there for a solid thirty minutes.
a minute and a half went by
which had felt like it had taken
the same amount of time
to read an entire encyclopedia.
Then Jon's father says,
"can you please call me
later then when i actually need to get you"
Jon replies in the voice of a zombie,

Jon flings his half put on on shoes
through the porch and collapsed
onto his bed, repeatedly
his eyes opened and closed
like newton's cradle.
