disaster bisexual
buys an iced coffee in february
with the intention to discreetly
slip a straw under their mask
and sip it while riding the train
disaster bisexual
orders in english
to be considerate of subjecting the barista
to their pronunciation en français
so early in the morning
disaster bisexual
orders an iced coffee
et un wrap-matin du travailleur
sans la saucisse
sorry, with sausage? you said sausage
no sausage
eggs please, cheese please
ok, with the hashbrown?
yes, please!
the wrap, the hashbrown
the iced coffee with caramel (we’re out of syrup)
is passed over the counter to the disaster bisexual
who looks at the funny lid
and remembers that straws are illegal
with their plan gone out the window
they find themselves consuming
their cold caffeinated drink
completely naked
in the face

My current company does a lot of business with Quebec. Our shipping orders must be done in both English and French. Not sure if my superior knows French already, uses a translation service, or if our shipping software automatically includes stuff in French. I will soon start learning our software hopefully as of Monday or sometime soon—I might have to learn some myself! (I’d upgrade from bilingual to trilingual—I speak enough Spanish to get by with coworkers already, they are impressed!)

Best of luck! Starting to learn a new language can be challenging, but when in doubt, Google Translate is always there to help, haha. Since moving to Quebec, I’ve navigated a lot of forms, legal documents, and mail in French, and Google has helped me a lot with those!
