    Juicy Ellipses...

    how they glisten— the round balls
    that trail off the page edge


    perhaps into the perfect ridges
    of walnut veneer


    that itself is covered with debris—

    paperclips in their PVC pyjamas


    rolled scraps of rubber from the pencil’s eraser

    quadrangles of paper
    that have been used to clean fingernails


    and the empty plastic stationary holder
    its four hollow towers stretch


    toward the post-it note montage
    coating the side of the monitor










    .

    paperclips in their PVC pyjamas

    dear Miguel

    the essence of what is truly meaningful
    can be held by a paperclip
    is an excellent epiphany


    a warm smile
    silent lotus

    Hi SL! This is true imagine all the power that all the paperclips of the world has have held, and some in their latex Jimjams! :)
