not a pretty picture

July 13, 2006

sketch and sketch
where’d the pencil go
sketch and show
where’d the eraser go

open up when least needed
close up when least wanted
there are blemishes gray
there are marks astray

and pencil in some other hand
and eraser in some other land
and sharpener is buried in sand
this is not grand, not grand

strictures, mixtures, gestures, lectures
and this aint no pretty picture
nope, not at all a pretty picture
