Don't elaborate your true 
with the leftovers of lies..
The taste is horrible,

Premium Member No Longer a Glutton For Punishment
bits? crumbs? dregs?
smoothed-over leftovers?

     No, thank you

Regret
Is a dish best served 
as cold leftovers
from a meal
of might
have beens
from back before
you had stormed out
and left me here
dining all
alone...

If gluttony is a sin –
          then count me in

I’ll ask forgiveness tomorrow
          for leftovers again!

O circus, circus 
the ox and his Fergus. 
The whale took a bite of the moon. 
The carnivore gasped to see that chomp.
And the pig civilized the baboon....

My Liquid Leftovers
still, non-dynamic study
of my
liquid leftovers sliding down her collapsed body   
burn-out lust 
wasted hardcore vigor  
for an ancient misinterpretation of genitals....

Fast Food Kitchen
When at home its often fast food I crave,
might even be leftovers that I saved,
always in a race,
open and shut case,
thank God for my nuke everything microwave!

Thanksgiving Leftovers
There once was a gobbler named Tom,
Who thought himself quite the fowl homme,
Though hens thought him a cad,
Pilgrims thought he was rad,
Especially stuffed, roasted and basted...nom, Nom NOM!!...

Baggage packed
Leaving here 
Have my razor drugs things
Throw away the leftovers
And clean the apartment
I did not come here of my own choice
Leaving on my own
Going to see the old family
Ciao bella...

Throw in all the fixin's:
A great morning meal, like....

A Great Fire
Since I climbed up this hill
I see past the sea or a steppe:
a great fire! burning the leftovers
of grease and filth
that created this scorched earth;

I can only pray
it spreads over here too.

Just another day
Stopped on the way home from work
Drugstore leftovers

I just want to eat
Alone amid the couples
Save your pity please

Anticipation 
Wrapped gift sitting on her lap
Did he lose his way?...
