Picked up some wood to build the bars that hold my sane banality.
The bysmal lines define.
I take a lilting glance and flick my tears onto the linoleum floor.
The way Bob Ross flicks excess paint off of his brush against a tin can.
I staplegun linen taut against the bars,
And with derelict violence,
I slap thick, bodied acrylic onto the flat surface.
And the canvas is made.
