mid-day crawl

i’m hungry, but i forgot to go to lunch,
so now i have to spend the rest of the workday
staring at a screen,
trying to pretend that my body isn’t slowly eating itself,
perhaps killing itself,
though i’m probably being hyperbolic,
i’m sure i can make it till the end 
of the work day,
especially since i think burgers are on the menu
for dinner tonight
