Ordered From A Menu Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Anyone can imagine,
Someone else's life to live.
But that's it.
To live, feel and experience,
One's life to live...
Is much different than imagination.
Done to leave when wished.
As if a movie to watch.
Until the ending comes.
Left to discuss.
Or not.
Leaving the memory of it to fade away.
Eventually forgotten to forget.
Yet...
Those who live the reality of their lives,
Know the doing...
Is not an 'on' to turn 'off' switch.
To imagine what for them to have experienced.
Or discuss over cocktails.
While nibbling appetizers.
Awaiting for a meal ordered from a menu.
