Check Please...

Truly we can love

this seated self

as Mythic,

above reproach;

But nay is that

really He? there

ceded at this

banquet table...!?

...Who gives out

Orders and

Accolades...?

and who tucks the

napkin like

a bib beneath

the dribbly chin...?

Is Man truly himself

if he is Subject..?

No, one can suppose

It ain't much so;

Serfdom precedes

as such and then,

Again if he be subject

and the object of

a meal in question,

we should indeed

question the Charge

as being truly and

adequately Objective,

if at all...?

Being prone to over

estimate his clout

and appetite, and

paying might,

on any given

Night...

to be sure

he/ she will surely

foot the bill, out

from three feet under

And in generations

to come again,

further still...

But as a Waiter

here very well off,

and down, down

down in the lines,

in the assembled

length of hands,

thoughts 'n rhyme,

I cannot help

but wonder

just a little,

teensy bit;

Should he really

..really now,

be subject

to Change..?

Or rather...

shouldn't he

just leave it

(on the table)

...as a Tip?

Is a Person truly himself if he is subject to change? Challenge @batmaninwuhan
