Comparisons

All we do is different.
We change.
Our fantasy and ambitions
Off-ramp to Otherwhere.
How to return
Escapes.
Looking cross-eyed and churlish,
We sit still and stubborn.

Quality, quality
I look for it repeatedly
Seeking plump or sturdy,
Genuine.
But I can’t tell
The wax from the marble.
I’m a fool in this gallery.
I’ve turned you over
Until I hate what I see.
