Samples
Ever since the dawn
We seek to sample.
As little ones, we sample
Wood. How does it taste?
Friends. How shall we play.
School.
Work.
Love.
We grow fat sampling at the grocer on a Sunday afternoon.
We dress up to sample the treats given instead of tricks.
We vacation to sample luxurious retirement.
We raise children to share in samples of their youth.
And every night
Every nap
Every sleep
We sample death, and upon awakening...
Rebirth.
