Disaster

• Artist: Shajinia
• Description: Inspired by/written in response to Elizabeth Bishop's "One Art." *you can read her poem here http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15212 * I've written a lot of prose in the same style before, but this is my first time putting it up anywhere for someone else to read. I'm not sure how to describe the style, except as free-form with a vibe. Any (productive) comments welcome.

Oh, what a disaster!
Even the stiffest board
Would break under the weight of all these hopes and dreams
You can practice losing until the end of time
But it still hurts to crash
Into that brick wall
That blocks your beautiful view
Goals unseen
Truth unfelt
All that is right in the world
Is only a broken wood
