Of my self is made a table,
laden with the banquet of my attributes:

pineapple pinwheels of passion
the sliced ham of my ego
radish roses of rage
lemon tarts of laughter
overstuffed turkey of my greed
sensible vegetables, sensual fruits.

Come taste, as you will
of the savoury, the sweet
prepared to encounter the bitter, not to your liking.

Nothing is ever simple, as metaphor would make it
greenhouse-tame cucumbers
transmogrify into wild bananas.
