Menu's words and prices, tomorrow's amnesia,
meal eaten in the mind's buffet.
Heart feasting upon dreams,
palette tense for a different, missing faire.
Server takes the order,
but shares a vacant, longing stare.

How very true this is! Where did the inspiration for this come from? I think it's called being spoilt for choice! I've felt that way often. Keep writing, xxxxxxxxxxxx
