the act of preparing an omelette

is making an omelette an art or an act
of desperation? what does it mean
if an egg in the fridge and a can
of kidney beans in the cupboard
are all you have left to eat?
not that the stores were closed
or their shelves empty or something.
even the distance is not a problem
as you live in the city centre.
and you have everything you need
to do your shopping, except an act
of will.
