Wrinkles (Poem)

Wrinkles

Pay no mind to the wrinkles.
It's the give of starched sheet

you'll want to notice, like that knot
in the small of the back you have

to smooth out again and again.

    So vivid. And I love its simplicity! A passing moment that you've described so well.

    No escape from wrinkles. So you make them work for your poem.

    Yes, wrinkles are not much to worth paying attention to at all! I fell and slid on my back down a flight of stairs on the ferry coming home yesterday. Your poem fits perfectly with my own complaint - stiff and sore but fine, thankfully.
