Plates of unidentifiable greyness
Steam
Shine
         and i can hear the slop of lumps
               fallen from spoons

And I watch them shovel
Load after load
Into their gaping
                 black
                      greedy
                             unsatisfied
                                         Holes.

They stare out of blank piggy-eyes
And the leader has a lump
                s  l  o  w  l  y
                      sliding down his stubbled chin
Like a snail.

        This plate must be fribee-flung
   To leave a wet circle on the violent wallpaper.

"I'm terribly sorry ma'am,  my karma just ran over your dogma"

hah lovin your signature. ^^
was there a deeper meaning to this poem that i perhaps missed Ellie? id like to know if you dont mind. but i did love this stanza.. very very nice and deep:
quote:
And I watch them shovel
Load after load
Into their gaping
                 black
                      greedy
                             unsatisfied
                                         Holes.

“A single choice can build destinies, or destroy them.”

Getting away, isn't Running away.

"The hurt that you try to hide, is killing me."
