this morning #1005.

this morning, before i left home, i made sure to pack all the essentials in a bag. there’ll be no time to stop back home. i’m out of the house until tonight. just me & the city. it’s a good thing i prepared because, while sitting in traffic on the crosstown bus on my way to my first delivery of the day, the hunger pains kicked in. i pulled out my peanut butter & plastic spoon. took two huge scoops. screwed the top back on. dropped the jar & spoon back into the bag. smacked my lips a few times. reached in & grabbed my half-gallon of milk. took a swig. felt my insides warm up. necessary nutrition. put the jug away & prayed that i’ve brought enough stuff to make it through the rest of the day.
