Boredom and hunger
lead to strange distractions.
Eating is a helpful action
that solves boredom and hunger.
But the fridge held no rations.
Jeff opened it thrice in an hour
the emptiness made him glower.

he decided on a homemade tattoo.
He took the sharpest of knives
to his forearm and scratched
a bloody number thirty-five.
His favorite number didn’t ease his state.
He opened to door again to search for steak.
He found a full fridge, separate from his universe, attached.
