Just A Taste Of Life

what i have in my hand
is a slice of pineapple
it is sweet
its sweetness lingers
in my tongue
and sticks to my brain

it is simply a slice
just a taste of this bigger life
ahead of us

i have another slice
to hand to you
take it

why waste some time
on bitter herbs
and sour grapes?

what i have is just a slice
of sweet pineapple
take it now
it is sweet

what do we have next?
we shall wait and see
