Significance of Metabolism

A parsnip

must endure
near-freezing
temperatures
serially
two to four
weeks in fall,
early winter

for starch to
become sugar:
strong,
sweet,
unique
taste.

Metonymically: Is the relationship between Metabolism and Metaphor,

Metaphor metabolizes...
            OR
Metabolism metaphorizes...

?
