The discovery of a new app
To help prevent food waste
Led to an adventure on the
Upper west side
At the last moment 
I jumped off the subway
At a stop I've never been to before
I navigated the grid and
Landed a "surprise bag" containing 
Two different curries
A box of rice and
A giant piece of naan
For the princely sum of $6.52
The luxury of a phone to download the app
Of funds to buy the food
A quiet place to sit and eat 
The disconnect of later seeing a man
Begging for help
Next time I'll order 2 bags 
And pass one along.
