Casual food. What is casual in poetry?

There is no definition of casual food although there are too many examples to name.

For instance, goat cheese on crackers with a small bowl of mixed pistachios, walnuts, raisins, sliced dried apricots. Leftovers are sometimes said to be synonymous with casual food. However, I don't agree. Leftovers can lead to quite the uncasual. Each situation must be considered situationally. That you know.

& poetry? Well, elements of prose. Not natural speech; written prose. In poetry.

    Something in the tundra moved
    akin to elemental time
    We strode along the boulevard
    "A lemon! A lime!"

    Dawn falls to those who look for it
    alone and at a loss
    They reach and scrub the rusty night
    Forbearance in their hearts

    The errand boy keeps the girl
    happy playing darts
