the next man down

it's all you can eat
at captain George's along
Laskin
Highway.
the plates are large,
there's
no end
to what sits upon
the great buffet for
you to eat.
crab legs,
linguini,
eggs or chicken.
five different kinds of cake.
mounds of
potatoes,
slabs of ham,
cinnamon bread
and biscuits
to suit your taste.
there's a nurse 
on duty,
a defibrillator
by her side, waiting
for the next man down.
