Finding Flint (It All Goes Well With Mint)

Not lost so much as misplaced
A feeling of speck
Not to be eaten raw
But confusing it with render
Prosciutto, the greatest offender
Stomach the insignificance
Together, so heavy
So salt and pepper
Head cheese
Alone without anything else
Boundlessly lacking meaning
To draw from experience
To cut from the gut
Disgraced, in life as it is in death
Interject
Not to insert between elements
\ˌin-tər-ˈjekt\ interject us
Interjectus
Interlaced
A pattern of fleck
Not so much flaw
Or distinction of gender
Bits, parts, otherwise those lacking (i.e. pretender)
Enjoying the magnificence
The opulence and bevy
Versus lunch with leper
All these
Tassels, marks, parts of belts
Flair on top of flair on top of preening
Attacking the Syrians
Spread open and eloping
Not 'mark my words'
But vast array of stars
Possibility
Endless scatter
Catalogued
Ribbed for our own pleasure
Leaving a sacrifice
Splayed
Like so many fingers
Dipped in the batter of galaxy
Left unwilling
