FINE DINING

Dining table duel
I eat, I drink
With this ego, this very fragile ego.
Eyes locked and watery
Stretched to effectively communicate
The importance
Of the sensitive playmaker.
Iron curtain scowl
Hidden behind social prowess
And the know-how
To escape any question
So Houdini drags it out.
Like cancer
That never completely overtakes,
Suffocates,
A dominant force,
An unavoidable presence.
Still,
This is where the treasure lies,
Within this belfry.
An excursion
Of obnoxious proportions.
