The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for May 2011
IRONY IN THE SHADOWS
(or, The Hidden View)
the nails
are
eased into
place
the curved nose
of the mini-
pliers rocking
them
into
pre-
drilled sockets
a
little
narrower
than needed
tapping a
bit with
not
Maxwell's
hammer
stiff
the last
scale
foot
a
steady
push
all my tools
are favorites
here and
the
results
unreal
just
the
way
I like it
