Famished

Is there any polite way
To say goodbye?
To ask someone to leave
Not your heart but your head?
I’m quicksilver
Pretty to think about
But deadly poisonous
I wish my own reactions were as quick
I certainly recoil as fast
My compass will always
Point true north
Willing to lead me home
Sooner or later I must plant roots
We may share DNA with vegetables
And be fundamentally similar
But I see myself as more of a carnivore
And lately I feel
Simply famished
