Hear me read
the poem as
an MP3 file.
Watch me read
the poem as
a YouTube video.

Fifty-four
redecorates her day
In passionate pursuit of near perfection.
For her each detail elevates the whole,
The vivid essence culled from the collection,
Yielding grace no fragment can
convey.
Facing entropy, she has her
way,
Overcoming dullness through selection,
Undoing the conventions of her role,
Revealing unseen radiance through rejection.
