Does a poem bend to will?

Does it bend to editing?
At its core is poetry like bamboo – quick-growing and flexible?




Perhaps, a poem is more akin to rice.

    trek thru aftermath
    and distillation
    show up on time
    avoid crowds
    cross out that part that doesn't match

    this evening the waves, the lovely waves
    as the veteran unwraps his bounty
    down by the water
    something shiny
    around the television crew
