het·ero·nym
Noun: one of two

(such as a bass voice and bass, a fish)
First Known Use:

7: buffet
And there
she is—at the buffet—
Just
choosing some rich, sweet dessert—
I sort of
saunter—move her way—
But I am
fragile, bruised and hurt—
And so I’m
not like certain dopes
Who barge
right in—who make a move.
No, I have
very humble hopes—
If you could
see, you would approve.
But just as
I am feeling free—
Some alpha
male just sails right by—
I feel his
force just buffet me—
She smiles;
he smiles; they smile; I cry.
