bottomless pit

food, such a basic thing. such a taken for granted, over-consumed, wasted thing.

i’ve been living closer to hungry these days and it’s not fun. but my bowl of plain rice with salt and pepper is an abundance. my bag of 99¢ fritos is a luxury. my $2 worth of salad bar a freaking miracle! there are so many empty stomachs that stare back up at their owners like the hollow pits of parking garages at 3am. so hungry you can’t think of anything else. so hungry you’re not hungry anymore.

can’t we agree as a species to share what we have, regardless of what the price of rice is?

hungry sucks.

stop the suck.
