The Dangers of Using Metaphors On a Poet

Give me an offhanded old metaphor about a flower,
and then sit back and watch me cook for an hour
As I throw it in water and mix it around
Cook it until it's great, risen and brown
So its shape, use, flavor, color and consistency
Are nothing like the flour I made of the flowers you gave me.
