ON THE CULTIVATION OF ROUGHNESS—

Quiet but defiant-
ly
undulating

thing in an other-
wise stilled apartment—I may be
your intermittent

master—but you are
endlessly
my brazen teacher!

Defiantly reclined 
and abundant—on the darkest 
of all our fuzzy

and stylized 
area rugs—and smoothly staring-
down the approaching 

front-line
of sticky 
Chicago summer hardwood—I don't think

I've ever
seen a creature—simply 

be hot!
with such ample 

and instructive Wabi-sabi!
