needle, needle

inadequate to intercept future
imperfect to recall past
into present we suture
each vision we wish to stash
brandished steel puncturing time
threading scenery of creature condition
loop by loop, in word and rhyme
each stitch evinces volition
needle, needle; greasy, greasy
with fingerprints of mind
for sartorial artist, easy easy
each apprentice mastered blind
fabric picture of bias, notion
from baste and into seam
depictions of true taste, emotion
each thread a separate dream
peculiar beings, wishing to last
thought sewn to memory
inadequate future, imperfect past
each present is all there can be
