Vinegar incites puckering reactions, turning facial expressions into
otherworldly configurations. similar to unpalatable flavors tasted lately—staying onboard, hoping for a more-savory recipe.
casual words flow, expounding with emphasis, piquing our tongue's right to flex.
and a change did come, swifter than the flight of a stealth owl diving for that poor fieldmouse. so, remember this:
love is something willing to bend over backwards, exercising the passion to evolve.

Love is something willing to bend over backwards. Now there is a line to remember and meditate on. Loved your poem, Lamar!
Your poem took my thoughts along several interesting paths.. nice and not so nice. Let us hope love is boundless!!
