the country is quiet
the country is in the city
the country live in the city
I live in the city

Staple Instead

scotch tape
binding fragile layers of delightful parchment
streams of bowls of rocks of compressed earth
and I'm going to be late for work

masking tape
holding onto a minuscule fragment of gratitude
thanks for the divergence
what a splendid way to start the day

duct tape
feeling a little uneasy about the treatment
highlight the congruent sections
drop the freshly dappled quark

staple instead
