You ask for a hamburger, I give you a hamburger. You raise it to your lips and take a bite. Your eye twitches involuntarily. Across the street, a father of three falls down the stairs. You swallow and look down at the hamburger in your hands. I give you a hamburger. You swallow and look down at the hamburger in your hands. You cannot swallow. There are children at the top of the stairs. A pickle shifts uneasily under the bun. I give you a hamburger. You look at my face, and I am pleading with you. The children are crying now. You raise the hamburger to your lips, tears stream down your face as you take a bite. I give you a hamburger. You are on your knees. You plead with me to go across the street. I hear only children's laughter. I give you a hamburger. You are screaming as you fall down the stairs. I am your child. You cannot see anything. You take a bite of the hamburger. The concrete rushes up to meet you. You awake with a start in your own bed. Your eye twitches involuntarily. I give you a hamburger. As you kill me, I do not make a sound. I give you a hamburger. You asked for a hamburger, and I gave you a racoon. You asked me for a hamburger, but it turns out I really don't exist. Where I was originally standing, a picture of a hamburger rests on the ground. You awake as a hamburger. You scream. The world is sepia. Why are we speaking in German? A mime cries softly as he cradles a young cow. Your grandfather stares at you as the cow falls apart into patties. You look down only to see me with pickles for eyes, I am singing the song that gives birth to the universe.
You ask for a hamburger. The hamburger asks for you. You are in Russia. You start awake sweating in your own bed. I give you a hamburger. Shrieking, you stagger into the road in a daze. You ask for a hamburger. The ambulance does not arrive in time. You ask for a hamburger, I give you a hamburger. As you take a bite, you notice ants all over your skin. You ask for a hamburger. The children cry over the father's dead body. You ask for a hamburger. You are blind, but you can feel the worms writing in your stomach. I am your father. I give you a hamburger. You giggle as I stumble. I ask for a hamburger, you give me a hamburger. You awake with a start in your own bed. I give you a hamburger. The wizened meat explodes to dust and you realize eons have passed and you are alone in a desolate waste. You awake screaming. I give you a hamburger. You take the hamburger with trembling hands. Your eye twitches involuntarily. As you take a bite, the ants crawl into your mouth. You look at me desperately. I give you a hamburger. You awake in the corner of your wardrobe in tears. I give you a hamburger. You notice the semitrailer bearing down on you. You take a bite but your jaws refuse to open. I give you a hamburger. Your children stop giggling as they hear your skull meet the pavement. Collapsing, you vomit uncontrollably. You take a bite. Involuntarily, your eye twitches.
