Venus on a rock cake - call it Soap

Like Venus on a rock cake
We plaster flour, fat and water
Watching a soap opera design

A maze
As we flounder
In taste

Of stewed dumplings
Served by waiters
Still waiting

Destroying the plots
Of vegetables
Manured for flavour

Seeding currents of
Next season's
Rain

In a makeshift kitchen
That never throws fat or food
To a nubile cook

Who is heated
By something
Where life

Happens for an hour

And the image
Looks the same
But is supposed

To be armless
And beautiful
And thought

Thanks for the comments.

Things were getting through to me and it seemed easier to just write some nonsense that made me stand back for a few moments and laugh at myself.
