Poem

slate

my slate is written on
i’m whole inside
with gaps and things

to please
the imperfect

with dreams sewn on
with seams and borders
zigzag quilt lines frown
and chuckle

they even do battle
exciting thunderclaps
and calming ponds
arise with power
like kingdoms inside

i choose the players
who depress the list
or impress the rest

this slate at birth
unique to me
like a universal star

i can choose
to let it twinkle
or to snuff it out

it’s already planned
it's history

our palettes mix
not every hue
only the ones
you allow
to show

will you let age
refine or deny
or even haze
your vision.

wipers on?
cleaning fluid?
do your glasses clink
against plexiglass?

your slate
your slate
         your slate…

your choice
