Shawarma

it was a small, but a clean flat restaurant
with a picture of Venice port on the wall
I’d walk up to the counter and ask for
chicken shawarma
they’d ask if I wanted all
and indeed I wanted them all
fluffy fresh dough bread covered in sandy grains
even softer melted white mozzarella
on top of juicy chicken meat
laid around crispy and watery vegetables
that mixed and mingled into a harmony
I remember the shawarma
I ate with a can of Red Bull
after a work out in an underground gym
