full quick

the holes we leave
are barely noticeable

our sole purpose
to circumnavigate

ignoring deviations
as a methodology
but cataloging

imperfections
with a million tags

the days move ahead
without permission

living memory
not as good as living
unless you ask a memory

deciding what to leave
not as important

what you take
speaks at high volume

garage sales on every block
repurposing the empty threats
pieced together on long weekends

when holes add up
they call it riddled

supposing the missing pieces
are obscuring a solution

not taking into account
small holes in mesh
give dimension unselfishly
