A
Broken Glass
Clearly
Defines the moment.
Evident in the
Forefront
Grabbing my attention.
How does the
Imperfect yet polished
Juxtaposition
Kill my mood
Leaving
Me
No choice
Of course, but to
Pick up my pencil
Queue it to experience
Reflect on the moment
Savor the lost sip
Thread it into the story
Underscore the importance
Value the color
Wheel it this way and that
Xerox it, then sail off on a
Yacht and study
Zen.
