How does writing a poem relate to mowing the lawn?
Muscle memory. Routine. Editing as in line and grass.
As you improvise on a grilled fruit "salsa" of peach, plum, & fig (w/feta, mint, olive oil, pepper), consider cooking and its correspondence to the above.
Does the fruit tree drop its treasures just to exasperate the grass? These entreaties toward comprehension baffle the wallflower, the beast! When one approaches a living, breathing heave-ho on the moor what are we to make of the curving bow, a ship gone too far? I'd sooner take the wrong way out, lift my cups to a wretched mistake than navigate this proven map, this subsidy of assumption even pretty music cannot abide. She'll put out her best bowl of figs and invite all the damned to dinner.

These entreaties toward comprehension
baffle the wallflower, the beast!
When one approaches a living, breathing
heave-ho on the moor
what are we to make of the curving bow,
a ship gone too far?
I'd sooner take the wrong way out,
lift my cups to a wretched mistake
than navigate this proven map,
this subsidy of assumption
