even metal screening
can be worn threadbare
or worn as clothes, with bending
what bends us more than the clothes we're given
high heels in the hall at 3
but ! sneakers at 10
those holes in the screen let through the world
but too small for me
like the mesh of metal over grade school windows
to keep them out or they in but I'd lose hours caught in them like spiderwebs
placing gravestones in the grey diamonds
or birds
