Take Out

karvelD



'Take out' is eaten in

TV rooms where recliners

assume placid poses

linked to an LED anchor

that 'show and tells' life.

 

Eating someone else's

thoughts, feelings, laughs and food

I nod as the skin 

of an ailing Mona Lisa

is diagnosed with cancer.

 

Terminal, I'm sure

it said, and nodding

lower, I hear a voice

say, "For Christ's sake

let her die in peace."

 

To late for chemo,

the anchor condemns

us both until later

when I wake up

in time to go to sleep.

    I hope this is surrealist and not true. May your life be long and wonderful.
