Pay Attention!

Why,
Eat for the sake of food?
Only when the mood
Strikes

Do you enjoy what you consume?
When it permeates the room,
When o'er your shoulder it looms,
And it picks at you and grooms,

With pointed, grinning eyes,
With one thousand shiny smiles,
The closest friend you never had,
In wily innocence is clad,

To steal from you
Your pleasure,
Time mis-consumed,
Will be your tomb.
