Today is a bits and pieces
sewn together day.
All those odd chores
that need to be attended to
are pieces sewn together
with jagged stitches.
Wash hair—
See about shaky washer and dryer—
Buy a rain coat.
All such disjointed activities.
My cousins made a beautiful
patchwork quilt out of odd pieces
of scrap material.
So smoothly connected
Creating an art piece that’s hanging
on the wall of an art gallery.
And so my day—
to make it an art piece
of scraps and odds and ends
of activities.
Creating the patchwork quilt of today.
