What

Left the workplace in a hurry
 You'd received a call shortly before lunch and you seemed nervous after
 You left food in the break room refrigerator which is very out of character
 You proceeded to speed down 787 which is not at all out of character
 But when you arrive home you decided to keep the car rolling
 You parked in the supermarket parking lot a few blocks away and listened to public radio
 The station was doing a fun-drive and it was annoying
 There was snow on the ground but it was about a week old
 And in upstate New York, that makes the snow the same colour as the shitty,, winter sky
 Things were really bleak
 The heat in your car makes your lips dry so you go into a supermarket
 It's a low end grocery store and the shelves are poorly stocked
 All the packaged food was unhealthy and all the fruit looks bad
 You walk around for almost 10 minutes looking for an avocado before you realise this market doesn't carry avocados
 You settle for a packet of corn chips and a can of chili
 Then you realise you needed a can opener
 It's ok, you needed one for the house anyway
 In the checkout line you listen to a couple talk about their child like he's a termite infestation
 They seem to wanna go home even less than you do
 You left your car in the lot and walk to the park
 It's mostly homeless people but one mother is trying to get her child to enjoy the terrible snow
 You feel embarrassed opening the can of chili but then realise the company you're in and decide it doesn't matter
 After you dump your chili into the bag of corn chips you realise you don't have a fork
 For a desperate moment, you consider using a stick but ultimately decide to go without utensils
 By the time you're done you should be embarrassed
 Your face and your coat are stained with chili
 The phone starts to ring but your fingers are so messy you hesitate to pick it up
 When you see who called, you're glad you missed it
 The mother and her miserable, cold child seem to be judging you
 You spend the rest of the night walking around
 You realise your phone's dead when you attempt to call a friend for a place to stay, so you return to your car
 The supermarket's still open but it's just you and the employees now
 You buy some wet wipes
 For a time you debate sleeping in your car
 It's now too late to call anyone
 So you go home
 It takes a long time for you to open the door
 And when you do
