a different face

it's the imperfect
world
that interests you.
the out of tune piano,
tom waits,
the torn sleeve,
the broken
tooth, or bone.
the dog with one leg.
the prom
without a date.
the fruit with a soft
spot.
the double yolk
egg.
the awkward phase
of youth,
or old age,
the unpolished
shoe,
a button gone loose,
the moons ragged edge,
a different face.
