Buffet.

by Jenni Marie   Jun 18, 2015


There's a buffet
surrounding me, albeit
it remains untouched
others succumb to sweet
perfumed fragrances,
yet it only serves as a
reminder of statistics
counting and numbers.

{and I wonder if
I will ever be free.}

One day, perhaps. One day;
this buffet wont cause heart
palpitations or sweaty palms.
No longer will I need to look
for the nearest escape route,
nor think of a thousand and
one ways to divert attention
so I can sweep away the mess
whilst no one is looking.

May as well sit with
Parliament because
just like there,

there's no honesty
at my buffet table.

    Hello again,

    another well balanced piece of work.

    The image of a buffet is clear. But I think, perhaps, it symbolises self image? What others perceive, body image maybe?

    I like the way you mirror the dishonesty of politicians to those ' buffet so called guests'

    For me it is a poem to unravel and ponder. Rereading it and hoping to discover hidden layers, much like a magic eye picture. I can never see those and I guess that in itself speaks volumes. :)

    Good work.

    Michael
