Jaded Apprenticeship
Pick up
One piece, then two—
More if you so desire.
Make them one interlocking whole.
Better.
This test
Will not be solved
By gluing several bricks.
See what makes each one so special.
Improve.
Tear down,
Build tomorrow,
We’ll use tiny pieces.
You've seemed to learn how to think small;
Floating specks:
These particles
May look like bits of fluff,
Yet you have built towers from them.
They’re great!
At last
You understand
The workings of the small.
Together they establish all.
Awesome!
