"No perfect."

"There is no perfect"

the horse is not perfect

his white mask runs short of his left eye

his white socks run up to his knees...only on three

his right front is not working

his leg's shadow's symmetry is fouled

the road is not perfect

its fresh pavement lined with bumps

its fresh paint poorly aligned

its fresh gravel sporadicly imbedded

the road will be old again soon

the landscape is not perfect

it has not a cloud in the air

it has power poles and their shadows obstructing my view

it has a "down grade" road sign cradled by overgrown twin weeds 

the sky has an ugly grey haze, not one of my favorite days

I am not perfect

I overexposed my photo

I was in the wrong position

I did not focus thoroughly 

I did not think it through


I pick out every detail I can acknowledge 

I overlook the fact that it is a horse on a road
I overlook the fact that he is on the wrong side
I overlook the fact that nobody is perfect

I overlook the fact that everybody is perfect
I overlook the fact that there is no perfect


I overlook...
