please, do not get at me incorrectly
or I mean I hope I don't reach you
as an improper suitor, with the kind
of comments that you cannot accept
because I know you love those hills
just as much as I do, particularly
the smell when they are wet (you
must remember); so I do not wish a
way other than the one we have walked
but I do believe that I have over committed
myself to that which is most available
the green bottles, inexplicably labeled
as more virgin than a regular amount
extra marketing, perhaps, on a thing
that goes all to smoke when exposed to
heat for too long (a characteristic that
I can relate to far too well). but bring
me peanuts, crushed beyond reconciliation,
grapeseed, avocado, anything else; but save
those trees for me - and for everyone else,
of course; but I could learn a thing or two
from reading my own advice column
and perhaps try some other punctuation
carrots [>] and sticks {|}, all waiting for their
turn, to be heated up and sucked inside
vegetables mostly, and also meat (but
I won't admit it readily, because I don't
believe I can support such a habit,
philosophically, but here I am, with a
shank, drenched in extra virgin green stuff).
