When does "person" become "body"?

It isn't instant, not always

You used every spice in the cabinet

On a box of mac n cheese

It tasted too much like garlic

I didn't really like it, now it's all i wanna eat

And there's a space out there in the garden

You planted last summer digging on your hands and knees

The perennials all came back stronger

But people aren't like flowers, we're so fragile, we're so weak

When does past-tense become correct?
