man crashes out
of the packet
in pieces
as lifelong
assembly,
no instruction sheets
but the old
ones,
so he starts jotting
down his own,
the pen hand guided
by lessons his
heart’s
managed to harvest
from inner
toils..
mislabeled
failure-
sometimes it’s
hard to
see
success,
even face to
face with
her.
