A young girl looks
Back at me
All the curves and nooks
And hurt one can’t see
Saws shaved the corners
A router smothered imperfections
Grinding down burners
- Nostalgia is infectious
Shoes trod the once polished wood
Running feet…
Feet running…
Stomping feet…
Feet stomping….
Handling as much as I could
Until the lamella chips
off
Piece - by - Piece
The perfectly crafted oil-dipped
Plank
Falls
Apart
A plank has no peace
Communities argue for it to be ripped
But that little girl
Saw the warped curl
And understood.
Yesterday I tried to be perfect
But looked through eyes of childhood
And saw beauty in the wrecked
.
ooooh

Laminate
Plastic covered up definitions lip with profound mastic.
Layered lamella formed single filed lines separating life from death;
Held onto by paper thin adhesions.
Besides bungling up a perfectly fine bollix,
Laminate single handedly took arms up touching innocency.
Scrolls of past things are looked less upon;
By inclinations vestal eye, seen glimpsing beyond chaste.
Blind alley virtual figment reality innocuously engulfed—
Suppressed complimentary service accepts multiplied donators;
Final offers pickled debacle is utter intrinsic debasement.
One lamination, under God, with liberty and justice; For all…
