Carpe Diem

Carpe diem 
Carpe diem 
 
 
Carpe diem seized the raison pie sliced. 
Raison pie sitting in the sun ants come rain some wind finds the plate 
Snow melts upon the pie crust ice forms on the crumbs flies come 
Cover is placed in place an amount on a sign is added $1.79 centavos for a slice 
of raison pie long meant to be taken to the trash can and left there to be given to 
decay but sold to the man with the watch left in place of cash he was hungry and 
no idea was entered in his memory bank of raison pie left on the shelf and 
roaches crawled upon the left over raison melted mess. 
The waiter was just drinking coffee no beer at all. 
Carpe diem seized the plated raison given.
