COMPLETION

I polish the brass key holder
and hang it on the wall.
Placing the spare house key,
the new car key,
the brass key ring I carry
on their respective hooks.
Now my life is restored.
I can come home and hang
my keys where they belong.
I can grab them at the last
minute as I leave the house.
Process is everything.
Structure is only to make
way for it.
Process is where my talent lies,
structure is outside my grasp.
So restoring our house
has been a protracted pain
I seem unable to learn from.
