low on the food chain

I was going to call
you
but my phone was down to 12 per cent,
so I didn't
want to waste
those precious few bars
of energy on you.
sorry, but you're just
too far down on my personal
food chain,
otherwise we'd be chatting right
now and shooting
the breeze,
saying pithy fun
and clever things to one
another.
when I power up, i'll text
you, or send you a picture
of me eating
something
at this restaurant i'm going
to with my
friend betty.
