I offered my condolences
To the senior art major
whose pottery smashed to pieces
before the art exhibit opened
I received a strange look
“Not smashed, but crafted!”
“By the sidewalk, perhaps?”
The conversation ended quickly
“From Dust” the artist calls it
Catchy name, but I prefer
“A Pile of Dirt Adorned with
Jagged Shards of Pottery”
I thought to copy the technique
Composed a new score, shred it
meticulously burned the edges
this will be a performance to remember!
