Consumption Life, it seems, has consumed me Even as I have consumed it I’ve glutted myself on it Gulped it down like a man starved Sipped it Savored it Feasted upon all that was offered Preferring the spicy and the sweet Eschewing the bland The safe The pap This repast is, however, not without cost I’ve chosen some pricey entrees From this life’s menu And the meal that I have made for myself I fear is quite indigestible You might say that this slice of life That I’ve chewed on for decades Had bones in it ~wranx "Writing is a perfectly natural thing to do....just remember to wash your hands afterward"....Heinlein. |

Thanks Tier, Perhaps these musings are becoming too generic, too homogenized or (horror) too boring for the cognoscenti. ~wranx "Writing is a perfectly natural thing to do....just remember to wash your hands afterward"....Heinlein. |

There's cognoscenti in Dark?!?!  Well, I for one enjoyed this meal, bones and all.(and it reminds me how I used to call popsicle sticks popsicle bones when I was a kid) (and it also reminds me of an older poem of mine, A meal of words, which is somewhere in the archives) She said burn ... together. |

And very "non-gluttonous" in style! Indeed a well taught script. Great write. |
