Old Habits Die Hard

Petal...
plucker?puller?mutilator?
Cushioned by the stems of those who didn't foot the bill.

I twist slowly,
my fingers anticipating.
Now faster,
the desired is approaching.
But my lack of...
patience?coordination?luck?
seems to overcome
ever
y
time.
That's just my pessimism talking again,

The perfect...
apple?flower?word?
is still intact.
