That Old Time Ritual

in days of old

when analog was king

and handiwork

virtue

we poured the mixture

onto the inside

on one side

of a cover

crumbling the flowers

with our fingers

raising said side

to 45 max

lifting the mixture

dropping the mixture

until clean and pure

with a smaller cover

whereby the seeds

freed

rolled down

down

down

to the center

thereby precluding

in subsequent enjoyment

the dreaded

POP!
