Mickey D's - Concrete images

Okay so this assignment had to do with capturing only physical details or concrete images instead of emotional details which we deemed as abstract images.

Mickey D’s

Wheezing in the grease of the spitting grill,
the smell of the McDouble invades my nose.
Dripping with the juice of beef fillers.
Greeted at the door by a yellow suited, cardboard cutout clown.
Sticky, red tile floors caked with remnants of high fructose corn syrup.
Innocent children laughing with delight,
awed by the display case of happy meal toys.
Black uniforms with a happy yellow “M.”
“Can I take your order?” bounces off every surface.
Lined around the building in their cars they sit.
New Mercedes and old Toyotas all fall into the queue.
