large pizza for delivery

you go to the fridge
and look in.
top shelf, middle,
bottom.
there's very little
to eat. pickles.
tabasco sauce.
something wrapped
in foil in the shape
of an isosceles
triangle. it might
be pizza. it is pizza.
hard as stone.
you pull
the drawer
on the crispers.
one is stuck so you
can't open it,
the other has lettuce
and a  white onion
rolling around.
the orange ball
might be an orange.
one side is soft
and green, like a
sweater your mom
gave you for christmas
one year and never
wore. the pizza
gives you an idea.
you grab the phone.
