hunger

standing at
the open refrigerator
door
in the kitchen
gleam
of white, you
realize
as you put a pickle
into your
mouth that you
are capable of
eating a lot
of crazy things
when you're
hungry. really
hungry.
some old, some
spoiled,
some not quite
ripe. take this
slice of pizza
for example.
curled in silvery
foil.
