Two Dilettantes of Life: The Liver and the Thinker

Life lived and dreams sought, opinions voiced, ideas fought
This is the making of the life lived, not thought
Making marmalade pies and chocolate cherry drops
Being the doer, bringing the weed. Finding the lover, emotional bleed.
Friends of all, enemies of some. Eating, brawling: fat lipped with crumbs.

Thinking, in the head rehashing, dreaming of whatnot
This is the making of the philosopher, genius or not.
Eating when something has to quiet the empty lot
Being the thinker, think of the deed. Wanting the lover, emotional feed.
Friends of few, enemies: none. Reading, lulling: fat brained with hesitations.
