life is like a box of chocolates

life IS like a box of chocolates

get greedy and you can get sick
partaking of wonders
vast of vary
diverse
not few
process bile stew.

life is like a box of chocolates
contained in one set place
safe keeping first
consumption
destruction
now few

Life is like a box of chocolates
hidden under some thing
time and its wither
length of days to rot
mummified in zanthem gum
worthless dainties of old.

Life is like a box of chocolates
cordial, cherry, or fair
shapes and colors
fillings and casings
surprises
disappointments

Life is like a box of chocolates
momentary delights
half forgotten pleasures

a box full of empty wrappers
