Speed cannot be compared
to acceleration just as
prepositions have a one-
wayward relationship
to similes and style.
Brick is a bridge.
Wood is concrete.
Material is reality.
Thought is music.
Music is a lake.
Take it too far
and comfort won't
be far behind:
knowing flows
unless the river's wise.
Speak comparison
to literality
and liberally apply
pepper to the salt shaker
to save nine times out of wren.
Birds are a common target.
Target is an oversimple verb.
Over-easy stakes time to soft.
Pan-fried dregs.
One line to fool, recall.
