The Way

It's a slop of a silken surface

Forming that multi-faceted glaze 

Can't you see?

It's been done so many times before

It's bone-achingly exhausting

What is to be done? 

Nothing that can't be undone

Can you help me untwist my feet?

Go slow, slow, slow

I'm so happy

You get money to teach us
