Pertaining to us

By Maladroit

These
two-toned
words
force me
into
gold-digging
for
jeweled sincerity

because I want to be in the same color scheme.

Molded decor
that mantles a display
of symmetric similarities
between
the trashed and donated remains
of
us.

Finely repurposed.
Entwined
into
a magazine ready masterpiece,
that only requires a photograph

because words are devoid of inventiveness.
