a challenge for myself

someone said "a good poet could make watching paint dry interesting." we'll see if im a good poet

a blank slate

on unseen spackle and

torn gypsum scars

and a single drip

from the farthest corner

disrupting uniformity

forcing another layer,

its not the last by far

grab your roller

and patiently accept

your obsessive madness

for that perfect paint

then lay down, another coat

over that tortuous corner

set down your roller

as a drop replaces the former

Okay, you did it...maybe it was that last drop down the roller...
Just like talking about writing and how our pen paints words on a page...the process is more interesting than many would imagine.
