Kanye West wrote a poem about McDonald's for Frank Ocean
Kanye West wrote a poem for Frank Ocean's zine, Boys Don't Cry, which surfaced alongside Ocean's new album Blond on Saturday. The poem is about McDonald's and it is perfect.
Titled "The McDonald's Man" and featuring photography by Nabil, Yeezy's poem explores the social fabric of the fast food chain's menu.
The French fries -- which smell too delicious to be anything other than evil, obviously -- are our story's villains. Everyone's jealous of those fries. But an unexpected hero emerges, in the form of a smooth apple pie.

In the zine, the poem is accompanied by photos of Yeezy ordering food at a McDonald's drive-thru. The words appear on the drive-thru's order screen.
Read it all yourself, as transcribed from photos captured by Frank Ocean fan and Twitter user Jack Dudley. It reads like a glorious late-night, munchies-fueled stoner rant.

The salad bar and the ketchup made a band
