Affection

To arrest someone's cardiovascular system, most easily with food, is through poison, but such is such a feigned affection--a seduction, a copout for sure--nevertheless, the most effective means of obtaining superiority in a relationship. However, the long after is more somber for the affecter than the steps taken to implement the spuriousness.

Cooking with affection does cause a peculiar manipulation of ingredients as cheffed by the mere mortal's morbidity rate, a gastromancy that stirs some spirit with a mix of profundity and a dash of uncanny, concocting an edible comprehension, which is preciously proper: a tolerable level of such that does not raise the pressure or still the heart, yet oscillates vibratory mood swings.

To cook affective food effectively, lastingly (with no sugar added), remove the work conceit. Complete the tasks without editorial whelming over the meal, des(s)erting regrets. As such will (em)bitter any sweetener.


Poem [listen] Foodstuff

Affection

A confection--
A compound that
Dulls the senses, yet
Perks the soul:

The strength of weakness,
The flattery in sincerity,
Remorse in the raw,
Coated with a spoonful,
Concealing the medicinal
Causes for
Competition.

Sweet Roughage

Lettuce (shredded Romaine)
Greens (Collards tenderly minced, chilled in vinegar)
Yams (dollopped, but first mashed
     with lemon juice and raw sugar [powdered])
Tomato (slices)
Cheese and crackers (stringy blue and stone)
