Best served with Emily Dickinson's echoes across the public's romaine
Possession is nine tenths raw.
A vegetable in the hand
leads to three in the mush
with sufficient heat
and a solid push.
Chop things.
Chip away, cookie.
Find patience for a warm oven
on a hot day.
Collagen is a slow friend.
Salad is a mixed flag,
so many stars and bars
and fruit
that an apple-blended vinegar dress
will barely covers its greens.
Ingredient well.
Consider combinations.
Dairy carefully.
Think about hot sweat.
Cogitate clarities and cloudies.
Make a lot.
Eat a lot.
Dinner as breakfast
shatters speed
and leaves greed
in tatters by the cupboard door.
