Quip Art

Ostensibly

using a stencil

to hide,

My lack of a knack

with a pencil

I tried,

templating grooves

tracing pre-cuts,

alas

and alack,

my pencil got

stuck,

outside the lines

the predescribed path,

lost among signs

I just couldn’t graph,

in manner

the planner

of grid had decided,

was optimum course

for me

to be

guided,

so finding myself

without map to route,

I drew

blueprint new

my inside

–my out–

a customized mold

specifically mine,

and get this

it’s grid-less

–not fixed

or defined.
