Don Winter:Egging the Hamtramck Hamburger Chef///Messed up on cheap wine, we carry/ eggs in cupped palms/ across the clipped lawn./ We count to four and lob/ and one falls short,/ but three smack/ the huge Chef's face. We yell/ like charging soldiers, tear/ for the truck. Mark turns doughnuts/ as I hang out/ the window, firing as the truck spins./ I hit the customers,/ smear the window of a BMW,/ splatter the handicap sign./ The manager pounds out/ the entrance after the truck,/ punching the air and screaming,/ his face red with rage,/ but he snaps back/ when eggs hit his chest./ Mark burns rubber away, fishtailing up/ the avenue. "One hell of an arm./ One hell of an arm," he yells./ Someone should kick/ our asses for doing shit/ like that. Eventually, someone will./
