ASSEMBLY LINE REJECTION
I am a mold of unbaked clay
Inside the fold of every day
Disguised by eyes that blink false lashes;
Shiny, silver, satin sashes
Make-up masks and Chic Cologne
Wrap the drone I beg to clone!
To stay their styles and steady trends,
To feel their lip-sticked, happy grins.
When something false belays my starts;
An engine choking, coughing sparks,
Revoking license to my mold
I try their shapes, but they won't hold!
"There are sharks among your peers."
Something warns and sears my ears!
Yet, I am blind and deaf and dumb
My newborn clay still sucks its thumb!
Fears, at last, to fears succumb.
My God, what is it I'll become?
Tears become an ocean squall;
My brow a waxing waterfall
As panic frames my frantic question,
But then to God, no new expression.
He's heard that plaintive plea, I'm sure,
Yet, I've naught sought His help before!!
Still I try to pass the test
To find my face among the rest,
(for God, it seems, was quite asleep
when I made my request)!
And though I am the blackest sheep
Among the whitest herds,
It seems I'm feeling less distressed
Than when I zippered all my words.
Indeed, I am convinced at times,
The patina over my design
Is more than dirty gathered dust.
And I begin to trust a knowing,
I am something Special growing…
I am a mold of unbaked clay
With hands that shape me night and day
Into a sculpture that is mine
Not cloned from some assembly line!
