Time on the Table, a feast at the ready
Not prepackaged slices with no heart
Stealing moments of enjoyment
With mindless media of mediocre mettle
Juicy slices carved with careful calibration
A dance of deliberation, selecting
Salivatory slices, sumptuous & savory
Living moments marinated in life lived
With the choice choices chortling, chosen
I am carving out time
Separating skin & fat from flesh
To take out ticks & tocks
Filling my moments
With the feast of focus
Putting passions into practice
Playing with persons, near and dear
Not clocking in on fear
But clocking out of the rat race
For my own pace
For my own peace
I am carving out time
For me, for you
For hope
And what’s true
