A Little Plastering
A little plastering covers the holes
of stupidity,
of frugality of heart,
of paucity of integrity,
of apathy to initiative,
of brutality to dreams.
A little plastering covers the holes
in the walls they build
around their humanity
so they look smoother than they are..
A little plastering covers the holes,
so don’t knock earnest carpentry.
Springfield, Illinois is a lush environment.
