Litany

The kitchen is made for cooking
the ear for words
the street for eyes,
grateful.

Bernal Heights on a rainy Saturday 

Shells

Natural.  As in edamame.   Communal as in living.  Petite parcels of vegetal.

Reminds me of language.  A word is rarely singular.  Communal & circular.  Almost always vegetal.   

Consider, the ear as shell.   Yes, communal, rarely singular & often offers up parcels to the vegetal.
