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…
