Hunger Games

by Chris Sorrenti


Breezed by the meat freezer
at Metro today
on the way to buy eggs

Spotted an old friend sitting there
a single chicken breast
for $11 and change

Was a time not long ago
that amount
would have bought two

Not today thanks
I’ll stick to the whole BBQ variety
precooked at the same price
