Our Designs

Your line touches mine

Together we complete the design

 

It gets revised rejected

amended unfunded

 

then somehow becomes

real as law

 

You designed me better

I used a lot of paper

 

Until I reached a partial likeness

seen In the eye of the beholder

 

We feel a resistance against

Everything that’s said then 

 

Then inevitably we become 

part of a familiar fabric

◄ Now we wait

The Ugly Woman ►
