i had carefully aligned

and ordered

all the angles

 all the lines

in my life,

edge straight edge

straight edge to

straight edge.

the pattern made

comforting sense.

yet,

you have

somehow

come along

and,

so easily,

with

one deft turn of hand,

a flick of fingers,

turned and

tilted all

those borders crazily

against

 each other,

chaos breaching

my

 self imposed

order.
