Meadville Is Applebees
Meadville is / staying at the Holiday Inn Express / reading the first chapter of Debord’s Society as Spectacle / walking across a highway to eat
Meadville is / silverware wrapped in a brown paper napkin / four cheese mac and cheese with honey pepper chicken tenders
Meadville is / a headache / a sensitivity to light / a feeling you’ll never again wake up refreshed
Meadville is / lonely men traveling for work / traveling without a spouse or friend / friendly and eager to converse with strangers
Meadville is / a feeling that you won’t wake up / a reminder / that no matter how slow death comes / it’s always comes as a shock
Meadville is / being not in the mood to converse / is flipping through your phone
Meadville is / reading the headline NUCLEAR WAR BETWEEN U.S., RUSSIA WOULD LEAVE 5 BILLION DEAD FROM HUNGER / followed by the headline / APPLEBEE’S CREATED CHICKEN WING LIP GLOSS IN FOUR SAUCY FLAVORS
Meadville is / a photo of a meal / that is always superior / to the actual meal
