In this collection of well-crafted poems lays bare the truths known by those who've labored in the fast-food industry. Dennis deftly illustrates what tolls the turbo delivery of food exacts from young people--for whom it is often first employment. Those smiling faces, who query "May I help you," hold back the question "Will you help me?" Each poem leaves the reader more aware that the cost of fast-food does not include what has been paid in history.
