hospital food at age fourteen

fluorescent white

a plastic chair

heavy so michael can’t throw it

i pick at my food

soggy french toast

a tin of apple juice

all on my tray

plastic cutlery

a knife included

although you can’t use

it even if

the ridges are sharp enough

they count the utensils

i toss it, uneaten

it’s only thirty percent

but i’m not on edp

not like emelin and chloe

the hall monitor eyes me

but i slumber back into bed

a bag of stale cheetos lays on my desk

a stash of empty apple juice containers

novella says they have oreos back in stock
