Wrapped In Veneer

never 

took it an 

indirect expression 

of where we’re at; 

knowing dimension 

and artefact usually keeps 

the pace - but, here, we’re 

so naive what 

saves us 

is an ‘in-spirit’ of 

the fathomably real 

whom-we-are  

don’t need 

create assemblages 

of artifice to put these 

wares on display 

it is an imposing 

edifice - too sheer 

to take liberties, 

but plain as day 

and despite 

those restraints we’re 

wrapped in its 

veneer
