Small Things

A small poem I scratched out the other night. Personal, but I hope others appreciate.

small things
wood chips
leftovers
poseurs
seeing and almost certain you understand
inability to create or recreate
hollow shell of intention
even the shell is all wrong
my things are small things
small measurements
things that follow directions
step-by-step
to falter and stumble
to measure and follow and fail
admiration of spontaneity
of lacking doubt that a thing is worthy
instead
scared to move
