"To Serve Or be Served?"

 

As sky clears,

clouds mistily parting

pierced warmly

by morning rays of sunlight--

like melting butter

sinking into toast

I soak in the moment,

my crusty nature softening...

 

To serve or be served?

 

It's all the same

 

Better to express

one's demise

with fine china

crystal ring

and a vintage swirl.
