The Buffet
You lived life like an omnivore at the buffet
Perilously close
To the beautiful feast
To the uncomfortable dismay
You shouted life like a barker on the midway
Temptingly close
To the bellowing beast
And the jarring disarray
You flung life like a knife-thrower is his heyday
Achingly close
Paralyzingly close
And just a hair’s breadth away
You lived life like an omnivore at the buffet
Perilously close
To the beautiful feast
To the uncomfortable dismay
You shouted life like a barker on the midway
Temptingly close
To the bellowing beast
And the jarring disarray
You flung life like a knife-thrower is his heyday
Achingly close
Paralyzingly close
And just a hair’s breadth away
