such a sad poem this!
to be perp-hungry is to be
perp~angry
Oh hell yes,
this is a poem.
I KNOW where my poem is today.
I KNOW why I am angry, today.
REALLY. really angry
and it’s everywhere

Hanger isn’t just in our heads — it has physiological roots in the body. When we haven’t eaten for a while, our blood glucose gets low. This signals the release of the stress hormone cortisol into the bloodstream. Cortisol spurs the liver to release stored glucose to raise blood sugar levels and get things back to normal. But there’s a downside: Cortisol can trigger anger. The body experiences hunger as a stressor, so adrenaline is also released as part of the body’s fight-or-flight response. Not only that, but low blood sugar can also inhibit self-control — a not-great combo for sure
