030710 I Could Make It Look Better Poem by Manonton Dalan

i run my fingers along the door
i can feel smoothness i adore
little bit more sanding on block
couple more layers of shellac
would be perfect shine to match
wall papers and the golden watch

natural grain of turquoise tiles, pretty
with white streak and fading green
make it alive by bright printed curtain
above a giant cabbage cactus' pot
sitting by the corner lies a sleepy cat
i know i could look better another day
