Constructivitis

When you’re afflicted with Constructivitis

which allergically resists the imposition of all

rational consistency – geometric order, balance,

pleasing planes, proportion, clarity and color –

.

and instead enlists as many scraps, misshapen

flakes and bits as it can suck off poisons like

formaldehyde, asbestos, paint and pipes with lead –

oh, the dolor of the hopelessly substandard heart

.

of darkness in the cheap and badly bred! – you’d

almost think you’d welcome self-destructive entropy:

rotting, rusting, ultimately deconstructing into

piles of toxic glops and fuzz the way detritus does.

.

But when you see a breeze-borne random posse

of yourself drift by (which I just now espied) –

say, ten blue moldy blips you last felt crusting on

your lips – you want to cry. ‘There go I,’ you sigh.
