teasing for recognition

 

 

facta

 

She has a plan.

 

The cotton balls are vital,

she keeps a handy supply of

    cardboard and colored paper.

tape is essential,

tape is the key

   to all exactness in the doing,

speed is not exactly the entire reality

   but deliberate haste is her style,

she builds with mute devotion to the outcome,

identity is not so needful

   as function and connection,

her creatures are elegant monstrosities,

her temples are sturdy elaborations of design

   and form that find barely imagined boundaries,

her hybrids tease for recognition

   in their own dimensions,

her work is her success, her doing, her design.

 

She’s busy, she never looks up…
