All
I see is shiny
Everywhere
All
over me
On
the table
Covering
blocks of wood
Flecks
and sparkles
Glint
and glitter
On
everything
It’s
been three hours
And
a nice woodshop project
Has
turned to shimmer
And
I am making discoveries
Like
vinyl lettering
Doesn’t
stick so well
When
there is a layer of glitter
On
already rough wood
But
I’m innovating
And
industrial spray glue
An
Exacto knife
Some
patience
And
liberal amounts of sealant
And
the letters stay put
And
I don’t mind helping
Really
I don’t
I
get to sit outside
On
a gorgeous day
With
good music in the background
But
deadlines drive me crazy
And
I said things out of frustration
With
heavy sighs
Blatant
exasperation
And
I really was a jerk
But
you were kinder than I deserved
When
I sat down
Making
grumpy faces
Which
all melted away
When
you scratched my back gently
Smiled
and held my hand
A
glittering personality
