Dinnertime

at the table
let us remember
we are here
to consume each
other and ourselves
we will eat and
eat the days away
sometimes savoring
sweet seconds
other times gobbling
up years like there's
no tomorrow
and there won't be
with our appetites
for we can never
have our fill of
ever tasty time
yet the chef has
only cooked so
much for us
so sit with me
at the table now
let's dine on
this moment
in time
