I can get the sandwich of my dreams
much less often
now that my time in that particular street
has been so limited.

With so little opportunity
to visit that neighborhood
and so few chances to stop in
and buy the Fab Fowl
I am finding myself
experimenting with other sandwiches
at other shops.

They are not the same.
They are not as good.
They will come to satisfy me
I am sure
but for now
they are second class sandwiches
eaten on second hand streets
prepared by second shift workers.

They do not compare
but
until I find a new store
to satisfy me
they will have to do.
