patiently fishing
for one golden work
bobbing for apples
passing the hat
playing the lottery
twirling her dials
tuning in antennas
appropriate transmissions
focusing acute attempts
not to get electrocuted
pushing perspectives
painting a perseverance
with a knotted brush
sensationalizing mundanities
touching up blotches
on everyday extraordinaries
detailing love
obscuring hate
polarizing the bipolar
questioning an axis
shifting currents
manipulating emotions
stimulating reactions
undressing fear
taking out the garbage
rescuing my own refugee
defining a dream
then sticking to it
